Well you are wrong,  I am not badmouthing them at all, I simple put forward 
my opinion on the time limit, *you* have read into it way too far and are 
getting totally the wrong impression of what I am (trying) to say.

Warp, please dont worry yourself about this issue, I am perfectly happy with 
my arrangement using 3.6, I believe the time limit for pov beta's is a bad 
idea and have put forward my opinion on it.  This is the last thing I will 
say to you about this.
