They are *not* independent. "Beta testers job" is not to praise anything but to find bugs and give opinions. Beta testing and propaganda have nothing in common. But if results are good, what do you propose us to do? Keep them under the rug? So tell me: do you propose dead silence until a program is delivered commercially? What do you have against people (whoever, it couldn't matter less) posting games, so others can get an idea of new things that are coming? Only the "Porsche" syndrome of inflated egos? Bernhard: being the intelligent person you are, you managed to put together a ton of nonsense. Enrique >Kind regards >Bernhard
