Was this a regression test of people's patience?  Did we fail?  What was 
the baseline?

Comprehensive automated testing tools are like code-writing code.  Great 
concepts for managers, not so much for those in the trenches.

According to gmail, it's taken 38 emails on this thread to go nowhere 
(#39 right here!).

Regression testing tools are imperative, but Plasma is a perfect example 
of new software that requires hard work and human scrutiny.

Put my name in the hat of human testing for 3.5 and 4.0 releases. 
(unless by human testing you mean avon and Mary Kay testing techniques)
