Don't take this the wrong way mate =P but if you just state "I have my reasons but can't be arsed to name them" you're kinda killing the discussion. ;o Name em ya lazy bastard!Also I'm not one of those people that believe that mods are only used for hacks or bots but I have other reasons as to why I wouldn't like to see mods in Diablo 3!
On another note I'm no fan of modding either. I have played world of warcraft since its open beta, untill about a year ago. Since the beginning of that game, several mods were invented that I believe had a negative impact on the game, for instance; damage meters, gearscore and quest helper. Damage meters and gearscore forced everyone to conform to the standards. There were ultimate builds, and if you didn't use those, you sucked. Period.
I do however fully support the effords of the Diablo 2 mod makers. These enrich a game and give rise to a new generation of game developers, while not interfeering with the gameplay of the masses, since it was only usable in a private setting.

Now we could ask ourselves if there would be a reason for Diablo 3 to have a longer beta than those other games. I believe this won't be the case, because of Blizzards earlier statements that this would be a short and rough beta.
These points put together I think January is actually a very likely candidate for the release, closely followed by February. I hope that even the greatest of cynics can see that I came to this belief through logic, and not sheer will for it to happen =)

On the other hand, Blizzard has stated they're a) not aiming for realism, and b)not done with the iteration on physics. So I'm curious what the end product will be like =)

I do think it's far too simplistic to say any limitation or regulation put on wallstreet has been to the citizens detriment. You only know the country is in trouble now, you don't actually know if it wouldn't have been so if things were done differently, though this is an assumption often made by people.
I've never been a great fan of arguments consisting of "In the olden days, things were better".

Going from rank 5 to rank 14 will take exactly from "cool ^^" to "WOOOOHOOOOO :D:D" ^^

Right...
Blizzard releases games before they're done: Activision pushed them to!
Blizzard releases games after a significant delay: Activision pushed them to!
...wait whaaa?
You all make it sound like this is Blizzard's first title to take forever to be released
