Hi Sarah,

yes of course, we have a very big group of testers and persons which have
interest to test different things all the time. It's very nice to see if I
search tester and wrote a message in my forum that I got a lot of mails from
interesting persons for build a group. But I believe with 2.000 different
readers daily (Forum and webpage) is this normaly.

Best
Frank
