The question was a fair and valid one, so without some subtle hint, I would
have never guessed. And, yes, I know about these excuses... something along
the lines of "It's Only a Beta" and "The Final Version Will Fix Everything".
I also see that in Digg.com (the comments, that is). It's like those
spoilsports who say "I could have done better" or "it's just a bad day for
me".
Best wishes,
Roy
