Modus Ponens

Gee, it's been so long since I've posted in AGN, that...well, I'll just get to the meat.
(Oh, and if you want to get to the real meaty meat of it, then just start reading at LONG STORY SHORT and you won't miss any of the important details of my ridiculous nonsense.)
Hi! I'm here, and I actually exist! And I'm a beta tester. I mean, I'm still beta tester for some reason. I haven't really figured that part out yet, but I am grateful. Please don't think I'm not because I am. ZC is easily the coolest freeware project on the web, and I do feel privilaged to be in the position to help with it as a beta tester does.
However...
When I first became a beta tester, I was lame at it because the truth of the matter came out, which is that I really only wanted the position so that I could play with the new features of the new betas. Later, I was granted a position again so as to facilitate my development of new tiles, which do appear in the new default tileset (and of which I am very proud). However, at no point have I ever so much as posted in the ZC BT forums. This is because I am a tool.
Er, no. That's not what I meant to say. It's just that I never really had the impetus to really look for bugs and stamp them out. You know, the real work behind beta testing. However, I was recently contacted by BigJoe, who told me about the need for testing in this time of many bugs and updates. I was told about the ease that I would have with said testing, and so I do agree to pull my weight, at least for the moment, until such time as the bugs have been destroyed and the world is safe once again, at which point I will more than likely return to my dormant BT status (and the termination of said status would be in order and understood).

Here I am again, and I'm going to help out for a while. Sorry for being away for so long; looking forward to helping.
