Bless you and your dedicated team of volunteers!  
I'm greatly relieved that we can now get back to business -- our work
projects, and the fixing of an occasional AOO burp).

I'm not going to call out names.  Those affected have been notified.
They are now unable to post to this list, though they can remain subscribed
if they want to read posts.  They are also welcome to submit support
questions to the OpenOffice Community Forum [1]. So no one has been denied
the ability to get free community support for OpenOffice.  If anyone feels
they were unfairly treated they are welcome to escalate to the PMC at
priv...@openoffice.apache.org.

In the future I would not expect things to carry on this long, nor for there
to be a need for a "report".  Moderators are empowered to ban disruptive
users.  We're also adding more moderators for this list, so there is ample
coverage across time zones.

We should all appreciate that there are over 500 subscribers to this
mailing list.   Staying on-topic, brief, and focused on the purpose of
this list (OpenOffice user technical issues) is a necessary discipline for
ensuring a pleasant experience for us all.

Regards,

-Rob
