<h3>Beta Testers</h3>
And of course there have been numerous very helpful alpha and beta testers over the years, unfortunately, too many to list by name.
Your contributions to the development of Synchronet are very important. Without users, no one (including me) would have much interest in developing Synchronet and without early-adopters and good bug-reports and feature requests, we wouldn't know what areas could use improvement. :-)
<h3>Thank You</h3>
Thanks to everyone on this list and everyone in the open-source and BBS hacker/hobbiest communities.
<br>The world could use more people like you.
