Apparently there are all kinds of morons that have sent in their beta application and gotten in, yet I haven't been accepted yet. These very intelligent folks go out and post about bugs in the public forums. I've seen at least half a dozen of these types of posts on the Vanguard forums.
I have extensive beta testing experience. I am unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible for testing

I have 20 years of computer experience, and I also have a degree in English, so I know how to describe a problem in words. I should be a shoe-in!
But no, neanderthals with better video cards than I must be getting in. I've got a GeForce 6600, an AMD64 3500+, and 2Gigs of RAM, running XP.
/Sigh
