The issue in the past here was not that there were the two different methods, but how they interacted. I always thought that this could be solved by seperating them apart more. I had another issue: people that insisted (or politely suggested) newbie questioners should join the mailing list to get answers from it. This often resulted in the newbie panicking due to the sudden influx of emails. Really the issue was the person making the suggestion was either unable or unwilling to sort out the diffference between moderated, and unmoderated posters. I am happy to see both method, but i will only use my email thanks. -- Michael -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
