Sure you can ask. Here is the offending message. It's not hard to read in the header who sent it: http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=201476 And yes as you point out, it was one of the posters involved in trolling the list about the "ribbon", a thread which also had scam links. Some of the background material about Microsoft's ongoing campaign against interoperability are covered in the 'Halloween Documents' which can be summed up as 'break standards at all costs' http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070127202224445 A more general summary can be found here: http://grokdoc.net/index.php/Dirty_Tricks_history Microsoft products and people promoting them are no good for any project aiming for ease of use, maintenance, interoperability or just about any other benefit. /Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
