thank you for your offer, but if you don't get the damned regression 
testing working FIRST (it's been non-responsive since Report Time: Fri, 04 
Mar 2005 06:30:29 +0000.... that's SEVENTY-TWO (72) hours), you're not 
gonna have any testers.

AND can we talk about HOW we're going to manage the cvs this time (with the 
testers also?) or are we gonna do it the way we've been muddling through on 
the past releases?  I submit that having the regression testers do ANYTHING 
other than let the automated stuff run is essentially unacceptable.
