I'm quite frankly offended that you would ask for a FREE cd. If you

free cd. If you were asked for something for nothing, I'm sure YOU
would not be willing. So why ask the same of somebody else?
To be fair, the guy might not be aware of how these thngs work and
someone might have told him that you can get OOo free from the website
and he ended up on the list. So while I agree with your sentiment that
we ought to encourage people to pay for service, I think we need to be a
bit diplomatic in dealing with newcomers. You don't know that his guy
won't become our most valuable supporter if his first contact with the
community is a good one :-)
Seriously. I doubt Microcreft will promote OOo after hearing from Colin.

Wow!
That was a lot of anger unleashed.
Have a good one.
