On Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:27:48 -0700 (PDT) Came this utterance formulated by SHANNON WILLIAMS to my mailbox:
> I resent having to register for some program... OpenOffice.org is a program that you do not "have" to register for. There is an option during the first run of the program that says "I do not want to register". Selecting this option will not stop the program from running. > ...to open a document that I need to access NOW. Evident frustration is showing through here. 1. What type of document are you trying to open? 2. What methods have you tried? 3. Can you run OpenOffice.org OK? > I did register, and still CANNOT open the document... More frustration; again, registration does not affect your ability to open documents. > what the hell are you? You have contacted a list of thousands of OpenOffice.org users. Many of them give up their free time to help other users to operate the program better and solve problems with it. > What right do you have to force me to use your program? We are Borg and we will assimilate you. No seriously, who is holding your arm up your back? Do you know how to operate a computer or are you a recent convert to computers that has been misled into believing they are easy to use, and are trying to use it with no training? Your post does not descend into outright abuse but the tone will make many, that can help you, ignore you. Worse, you may get flamed. Thousands of happy users abusing you through your email mailbox is not what you want. And the evidence is forever burned onto the internet on several different public servers now that you started it. Take a few deep breaths, and reply answering the questions i pose above and we may actually help you with your problem. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
