Most of us here do try to reply to the question posed and add advice regarding correction of netiquette more as an afterthought. It makes the reply at least as civil as the question. The public OO.o ML membership tends to not be familiar with netiquette guidelines. This and users lists are a public face of OO.o. Berating newbies or their opinions can turn them away from both the product and/or this customer support avenue. At a guess i'd say Marius does not have English as his first language, though he has posted before. I am not accusing you of personal attacks or flaming but your reply can be seen as very abrupt - dev list style. 50% of newbies will react nagatively to such replies. Neither do i feel salutations are necesary on a moderate volume list as they are OT. As is Christmas to 2/3 of the worlds population.
