I wrote: To Whom It May Concern, While your open letter is of value and it is appreciated, it was written in a proprietary MS document format, namely .doc. I suggest you offer it in PDF or RTF, it would then perhaps carry more weight, especially within the zealous Open Source Community. Kind Regards, Jason Greenwood
