Yes, but in your previous message you wrote:

| I said we shouldn't encourage people to test beta and RC versions,

Note: "shouldn't" instead of "should". Which is exactly the opposite.

I (apparently correctly) assumed that this was a typo, but that wasn't
entirely clear and Adrian obviously took it at face value.

Well, You came into this thread replying to Adrian, so maybe you should
have paid more attention to what he was (originally) replying to? Or at
least make it clearer that you are changing the subject? Something like
"I agree in this specific case, but in general ..." is often helpful to
alert people that you aren't commenting on the specific problem they are
currently thinking about.
