Quote - erm Stacey? I wasn't bashing. .

I think she was referring to me... though in all honesty I wasn't "bashing" either. Just stating what I know to be facts - and as late as 2005, we were all told in no uncertain terms that there was no such thing as testing in the MP - at least beyond basic unpackaging. If that's changed, cool.

Sorry - tact isn't something I even hope to want to be good at. OTOH, it makes people uncomfortable at times, no?

As for MP item testing? I'll pop over the to MP forum and ask when they actually began doing that, I suspect. :/

Still, the freebie policy of late is monumentally not-intuitive, to be charitable about it.
