When I'll get my key, I'll be grateful.
And I can wait some more time to test my new addons

I am very grateful for the work you put in to make things like this possible, and I appreciate the fact that I've been guaranteed a key. I may be anxious to get testing, but I understand why this isn't an instant process, and don't hold it against anyone.

No that's ≈ ... totally different. :P

In ruby, =~ runs a regex... totally confusing.

Aye, thought it strange too. More appropriate to the community however. I just pretend it's != or <> lol (not really, gotten a bit used to it now).

I reckon it's the presence of the ~ in ~= is reminiscent of ≈, hence being reminded of "approximately equal." (~ ~= ≈)

The way I look at it, the expansion's not coming out for another few months. November/December'ish. They only moved from the Alpha to the Beta in the last two or three weeks.

Regardless, we're getting in on the beginning of the beta (relatively speaking). Be grateful you'll have such a healthy duration to test your mods and play the beta. I sure am.

I really do appreciate the work you guys put into this, you've got a very nice and streamlined entry system and I definitely appreciate you keeping us up to date on what you know Cairenn. I am sure everyone whose posted is very grateful to you.

I think it's a consequence of our "on demand" society that patience hasn't really been in need much. I know I lack it, and so does my guild >> "Pull? Wha? But we don't even have buffs!" "TOO BAD.. INC" <insert scenes of mass carnage>

Aw, come on... you don't really believe people don't appreciate what you do for them, do you? Just look at most of the posts in here, there are many, many people expressing how grateful they are for this opportunity.

Actually, I'm offering another virtual cookie (they are delicious, really) to you as a token of my appreciation.

Even if the beta key should take some more weeks to arrive I would still be happy that I found this great home for my addon via this contest. I really like all the neat features that you offer here. Especially the quick unlocking of new releases by the staff and the smooth SVN integration are amazing.

Keep up the good work!

[Cairenn]

Oh I know, and most of you I'm not upset with. Just pointing out to some that they really need to reconsider their attitudes and/or their way of presenting their attitudes about things.
