i think the empeg guys know a thing or two about how to do their jobs. they've decided to limit the alpha release, and i think we should respect that.

I for one am not questioning their ability to do their jobs. I just don't see meet attendance as a good barometer of who's worthy of getting alpha releases.

They are of course entitled to release the software whenever and to whoever they want... And I'm entitled to bitch about not being one of those people.
