Non-disclosure agreement. Usually, when you're accepted into a beta program, you have to sign one, promising you won't reveal any details. NDAs vary in specifics -- some won't let you even say you're in the program, whereas others barely limit you at all. -- Matthew Miller ---> mat...@mattdm.org Quotes 'R' Us ---> http://quotes-r-us.org/

One way to get around this one piece of information is for people to agree to tell this newsgroup that they are not in the beta test program if indeed they do not receive a response. We can then assume that, if they don't say anything, they *are* in the program. And we can send e-mail to them asking, in case they just forgot to say that they're not in the program; a second non-response is a confirmation. A pain, especially considering how many people applied to be in the program relative to how many are in this group, however... -Kekoa
