Liam & Ants: Why so much testosterone?
I'd be more concerned with actual support instead of whining about
names and ages. Ageism isn't in line with the guidelines.
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines <- these aren't just arbitrarily
made rules. And they aren't optional.

Liam: This is a community, one that isn't elitist or discriminatory.
His name isn't offensive, and doesn't break guidelines.

Ants :You don't need to respond to criticism with a even more personal remark.
About the "telling people not to update", Liam is perfectly correct.
The whole idea of alpha/beta testing isn't to provide users with a
sneak peek so much as it is to help get a junkton of alpha/beta
testers to appropriately report breaks and bugs.

Thank you for being a part of the community,
