Not at all.

Thats fine, but if I totally revert to 3.7 (leaving 3.6 as it is), fix all 
my associations etc, so that 3.6 pretty much doesn't exist (even though its 
still installed) then when the time runs out, I have to revert it all back 
until a new version of 3.7b comes out.  I dont want to have to do this hence 
why I made the comment, "remove the time limit and I believe you will get 
more testers".  Some might say this is all trivial, but to me, its something 
I can do without.  I didn't think my comment would stir up such frenzy!

Cheers Dre
