Just because your delusion is that you didn't offend anybody, the fact remains that your postings have offended people. > the petition is growing minute after minute.... 373 right now in less than 4 > weeks.

IOW, quadruple the number of replies that your effort has garnered. Oh, and people that did that survey have a reasonable expectation that the developers will actually read at least a synopsis of the pros and cons of the proposal. > or does this implies that even their numbers are useless and insignificant? Statistically, the number of responses they received is borderline. The best use of the data they collected is to utilize applied qualitative statistical analysis. > now many of you ask censorship of this thread. It is not censorship to request that you stay on topic. The thrust of your messages have been, at best, off topic. > petition will not stop, i don't care of what you say Internet petitions are a dime a dozen, with change left over. For politicians, ten million names on an internet petition, is worth one signature in ink on a printed petition. One letter, handwritten, in ink, is worth one million typed letters on the same subject. One typed letter is worth one million emails on the same subject. Software development is a slightly different critter. None the less the same degree of respect for the medium applies. IOW, one handwritten letter to the developers will be worth at least ten billion signatures on your Internet petition. As such, you'd be much more effective by writing a reasoned, logical, well thought out letter, explaining exactly why, and where their proposal goes wrong, and how those faults could be corrected. jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
