'Community Beta' has lost its way

[Bernard Devlin]

Apologies to Heather.  I debated with myself about whether or not I  
should respond to her directly or via the list.  I am sure the list  
in general is not particularly interested in my bug issues (although  
if bug 3196 is fixed, it offers lots of potential), but I am also  
fearful that the problems I'm seeing with this Community Beta must be  
shared by others.  Out of a sense of politeness I decided to respond  
to Heather rather than the list, as that is what she requested.  But  
by the time I'd written the reply, and hit 'send' I'd forgotten to  
change the recipient, so it just went back to the list.
