Having several different threads on every bug or problem that might crop up in a "Leaked" pre-release candidate of a Firmware that's not out yet can make people very confused when it comes to problems with the *current* firmware of the device.

I dunno; I'm a bit torn on the issue. Any normal firmware update I'd probably agree with you - but this pre-release leaked version isn't even allowed to be shared across these forums. The mods even allowing a single long thread on the discussion seems more than what some site's would allow.
