Something needs to be done. I have stayed with this list longer than
any other, but because of the volume we need to stay on topic and make
individual responses off line.
One suggestion though, Please identify the BETA questions in the
subject line. It is a real nuisance for us non beta users.
to get stuck in a non relevant question , although I do appreciate the
efforts of all the beta testers.
