I know FreeRepublic is not for profit. I understand that any changes that are done to it are "unencumbered" by any feasible plan. But you are driving me nuts, John! Think things through from my perspective. I don't have time to play around figuring out all the subtle differences between on Alpha release and the Next. Do the right thing. Beta. Test. Don't break what isn't broken. Never, ever, do anything that breaks a bookmark. I understand that playgrounds are fun, but I, for one, don't have time to coddle you whilst you are playing!
