pls include build your subject header

Between "unofficial" interrim releases and new CTPs, things are going to start to get confusing. It would be really helpful if people would include the build numbers as part of their subject header...

Good idea, although in a perfect world, we shouldn't need to do that because as this is the public newsgroup, people would only be posting things about 5308 as tech testers would be posting in the tech newsgroups...

Good point. Though, I guess in a really perfect world, s/w would work right out of the box so no need for beta :)

You can lead a horse to water, Tester, but you can't get it to drink. Ever tried to herd cats? This is a public newsgroup, and other than those who come here regularly to get informmation or give information, very few read more than it takes to get the answer they want. So, it's a toss-up if anyone will follow your suggestion.

Nope, someone has to test the code the developers have written. Nobody's perfect, not even developers.

If they were perfect then then they wouldn't still be developing, unles it's to some state beyond perfection.

And not even testers! ;) http://www.newdelhitimes.org/archives/2006/03/the_delivery_ma.html [quote - "The delivery manager's dilemma" by Gaurav Bhatnagar] Those of us building the software do not seek any sadistic pleasure in endlessly iterating over it forever. But software always has scope for improvement. Always! You can never say that a piece of software is perfect. Developers will always feel they could do a better job with the code. Testers will always feel that the devs didn't fix all the bugs. The interaction designers will always want to try more ways to make their sofware usable. Project managers will always want to sneak in a few extra features. We are all perfectionists I guess! [/quote]
