Are you saying that the newsgroup, whatever it is, is designed to send everything posted on it to ooo-dev ? And it subscribes to ooo-dev so it is like an aggregator?
I guess if it aggregated and allowed posting, it would end up being a disconnected conversation if it didn't post here also. But then there's the reply all problem because we are not really a newsgroup, it is a kind of mirror that is the newsgroup. And it anonymizes stuff that it sends to us and breaks our threads. I find that weird. Why don't we just offer an nntp feed of ooo-dev so that all they have to do is subscribe to it in their news reader, whatever and wherever it is? -----Original Message----- From: Dave Fisher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 19:39 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [What?] Why and How did this reach my inbox?
