What exactly didn't you understand about the purpose of the beta 
testing?  Your reply absolutely ignores what i wrote and even worse, you 
are trying to imply things i have never said.

I would strongly suggest you revise your attitude before continuing,  if 
you think you can do things so much better you are free to publish your 
own patched version (after the source release of course).
