I trust that the person that gave you this email is not going to participate in the beta, since he/she has already violated the NDA. AW, since you (the Active Network) or at least several who represent you are MVPs, you should have sense enough to not share NDA'd info...like this email.

Heh, nice try BobSmith... one of the nice things about working here (serious this time) is the freedom we get to post (pretty much) whatever we want... Of course if news posters push this too far I'm sure restraints will be put on it. That said, some people most more "NDA" stuff than others. I will only post stuff under NDA if someone else brings it to me or if someone else has already published it. That's my logic, but I can't really speak for anybody else.

I have no problem with the news. I have a problem with the formatting. It's great that someone got on the beta team ...

I have a "thing" about people wanting to flat copy-and-paste mountains of email text like it's actually relevent information, and on top of that, not bother to format anything, so it comes out ... well ... like above. Maybe the install requirements are good news. Ok, how about doing it in some kind of special format.

Apologies if I offended anyone, but really ... Carrage returns and page breaks are good mmkay?
