Yes I do now see why there are speculations about authenticity, but we have in no way meant to mislead. Perhaps my ine3xperience with BB Forums is to blame as when we initiated this directive for Beta testers yesterday, I did not even have a BBForum user account.
For that reason we had our direct sales channel initiate the Test directive with myself (seamus@solutionsintomotion) as the contact. I have since opened up my own BBForum user account and will be handling all inquiries and comments going forward.

We do apologize for any confusion created, however, in our haste and excitement to get as much traction as possible, potentially overlooked some of the finer details.
