Don't force him into a corner, please... let him do his job.

Well if you write to them with that attitude, I don't see any reason they would have to say no... except maybe the fact that they're flooded with feedback at the moment. Worth a try though, if you're serious about it. :)

I have to agree with MrBruce here. Different people have different styles, and at least a style of silently testing in the background waiting to find something that nobody has reported is not disruptive. They could handle a lot of those people quite easily. It's the ones who announce publicly that the next release version is going to be a piece of crap that we have to worry about, because they really don't KNOW what it "will" be like until it's released, and of course those who interrupt people who are trying to get things done to tell them that there are bugs in the beta software need to learn to think more about what is really worth that particular person's time and how weather or not they may already be busy doing things that are of equal or greater importance.

It's funny, I sent in the beta email request months ago, detailing the wide
variety of systems I had to test with, previous beta testing experience with
AW, 6 years with AW, programming background, etc., and didn't get in. I
keep noticing posts from people that are, erm, probably not ideal testers
(like the post a couple of weeks ago from the guy complaining about visual
problems but had no clue what kind of video card he had or how to find this
information...)

I would be one of those ^_^ but I did e-mail first then decided to t-gram
Cal figuring why not? I was actually quite suprised when he said yes but I
didn't get in just by asking I showed him some of my programs and also
suggested a way they could fix the bug where a non beta user could use the
beta browser. and I don't think I'm that bad of a beta tester.
