What? Attack? How on Earth could that be considered an attack? Somebody suggested that SPQR was less buggy than RTR because its bug thread was smaller; others pointed out that you kept yours clean of unrelated posts, while we didn't; I noted that additionally, as far as I knew, your mod was downloaded by fewer people than RTR, and therefore more people would have posted on our bug thread anyway. I then added that if your mod might or might not have fewer bugs, and that if it did, I didn't know why. Finally, someone had mentioned that they could easily read through the SPQR bug list to find if their bug was already posted, so I said that we had a known issues thread that could serve that purpose.

I'm completely baffled as to how any of that could be taken as offensive, or as an attack on your mod. I certainly didn't mean it as either. I have never, to my knowledge, said that SPQR was in any way inferior to RTR; I don't think I've ever been moved to comment on the issue, but if I was, I would have said that they serve different audiences and have different goals, as should be obvious to anyone. The only real "competitor" RTR has, in any real sense, is EB.

I say nothing of the sort. Read a bit more carefully. I said that, quote "5.2 was basically an open beta." Other than this post and your post, that's the only mention anybody made of open betas on this page. 5.2 is not the current version—5.3 is (or 5.3.4, unofficially). This is precisely what I said in my post at the .com: "RTR has made a *practice* of unmarked public betas, not . . . *all* RTR versions are unmarked public betas." Again, I'm completely baffled that you or anyone else could see a contradiction between that post and my post above.
