I am not particularly pleased with your attitude either. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. > I'm not pleased with what in the past has felt like > interference from you in the FAQ work.

I see FAQs that need doing and do them. If you want control assign the taks to yourself and do the work. Leaving issues such as 43188 lying around for someone else to do when you really wanted to do it y ourself makes no sense. THere is work to be done and when no one steps up to the plate to do it wrt FAQs, I have been adding what is needed. Since I spend my time in the doc project that is where I add them. > I do not find your behaviour encouraging.

I have rarely emailed you off list and in those cases it was to see if I could help. Even to a tollfree number. As to my sig, I am supposed to change it just for you? Forget it. IF you cannot figure out how to do things, please ask rather than getting on your high horse and trying to cause problems where none exist. As I said if you want control take and put your name on it. Do not leave tasks sitting in issues. > > I resent having to go in and "clean up" your work, because > you do appear to be such a bright person. I resent your > insults in the issue reports.

What attitude other than being resentful of your accusations when all I am trying to do is make the doc project useful to users. As to formatting, if you are talking about the collection from OOoAuthors, I know nothing about it and have not looked. I will have a look today. > You don't touch anything around my work until I do.

I tried making a script for you to help with formatting the doc project faqs which was not as complete as I would have liked. Is this what you are talking about. Again If you want control take it, complete the tasks in the list and do whatever you need to do to make whatever it is you are complaining about your way. > including things as small as my html composer rewrapping > code, which I see from almost all others that do work in the > doc project, or you criticize my intelligence, as if I do > not know what I am doing.

We cannot ask you questions, we cannot add items to the FAQs without your permission, we cannot make suggestions, we cannot ask you to do simple things like wrap your messages and ... What is it you really want? Your biggest problem seems to be that I add items to the FAQs on the doc project, Especially ones that have issues such as 43188. Sorry. FAQs are yours. I will say this that your comments in 43188 were not called for. I hope you can see that. If not, carry on. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
