You seem to have missed the point.  While we as other users love to see
bug reports, it doesn't help the POV-Team when you post them here, because
they're too busy working on POV to waste time reading every message that gets
posted, even to their own news server.  It certainly doesn't hurt anything
to post bug reports here (though you should probably put binary attachments
in one of the binaries groups) but it doesn't get the bug fixed either.  To 
get that done, you must send the bug report to a responsible party as well.

In my never humble opinion, if you're not going to take the responsibility 
to report bugs, you shouldn't be allowed to use the beta.
