Yes, undisciplined use arises on the LibreOffice lists as well (with the usual smattering of "unsubscribe me" and "please reply directly because I am not subscribed" pleas).

The OOo Users Mailing List was supposed to be exclusively for support. Other discussions about OOo were supposed to occur on the OOo Discuss Mailing List. In reality, many people were undisciplined and did not post their comments on the appropriate list. -- _________________________________ Larry I.
