Thanks, but please don't speak for me here. I'm not shocked by Chad's egocentric way - well, i don' much like the tone of his last mails, but it was some of us, who approached him in a totally out of bounds way. The first reasonable mail on this topic came from Bernhard and it is still about the only one so far. > and a little side note: by changing the OOo logo, i think you know your > off track here.

So, please. Get your brains open again and realize that he wants to have a site that promotes open-source office suites, namely OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice. Maybe if he would have been approached in a more friendly way he'd have changed the NeoOffice part of the site rather than the logo, but i really can't blame him. > So, like a said in the beginning, why don't we invite Louis to > participate in this disccusion, and see what he hase to say? It's over. You got what you wanted (well, not what you wanted, because obviously this is not about official use of stuff or not - but about emotional personal conflicts between OOo supporters and NeoOffice, and - sorry to say that, but - it seems like it's about getting NeoOffice mention wiped from the earth). Stop bitching. André. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
