Whether a bug would be found or not isn't really relevant. Most of us did not pay Jelsoft to be beta testers. I have no problem with people willfully testing it, but putting it into production just because you don't see any problems in this particular beta is not logical, neither is supporting that behavior.
No, you did not say stupid, but I would consider "idiotic and "ignorant" in the same ballpark, wouldn't you?
I am running the latest beta 5 on my production site but I have a small site that is still new and has very few members. And the ones I do have know things could get sticky. I was running 3.5.4 on the site this last time and I do know how to find the bug fixes on the com and incorporate them, if necessary, so I was willing to take the chance so I could start learning all the new ways of vb since 3.5.4. But, truthfully, until you mentioned it, I never thought of being an idiot. I can use that to my advantage, thank you.
