This explains an awful lot: <discuss-openpoffice-help> Chad Smith wrote: And if I can take just a bit more of your time - I'd like to thank Daniel. Daniel Carrera has served in many roles here at OpenOffice.org - he's the head of OOoAuthors, the Lord Captain Commander of OpenOffice.org (ding) (otherwise known as the Community Council Representative), has helped create installers on operating systems he doesn't even use, and much, much more. Daniel's efforts to promote and enhance OpenOffice.org have been too many to mention, and I just wanted to say thank you.  Thank you Daniel! </discuss-openpoffice-help> I had not realized that there was a "head of OOoAuthors", let alone a "Lord Captain Commander" of anything. I thought we were a group of volunteers, with each opinions  weighted equally. I see now that I was wrong. There is clearly a well-established chain of command here, and I will not bend to it. Had I known that Daniel was an authority not to be questioned ("the decision /is/ made", when of course he meant "the decision /has been/ made"), I would never have volunteered my time. I had hoped I could help, but I see now that I can't. Que lastima. I still believe OpenOffice is a great product, and I will continue to use and support it, and help where I can. Best regards, Lou
