Whilst it was Terry's choice, Rob's attitude was quite literally : "I don't care about how the forum used to be run, or why it was run that way. You will do this, or else, where the or else is to treat it as if it was a mailing list." What works for running a mailing list does not work for running a web forum. What works for running a web forum does not work for running a mailing list. And like any good web forum admin, Terry baulked at doing things that won't work on a web forum. > no secret he had problems with doing things the Apache Way There are major differences between the corporate culture of Sun, and that of the Apache Foundation. This is in addition to the gulf between the volunteers for OOo and the Sun employees. At least Sun could respect the linguistic and socio-cultural differences of its various user communities. The Apache Foundation appears hell bent on inflicting its own white bread cookie cutter mould on everything, without giving a thought's consideration as to why the policies and practices evolved to what they are. jonathon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOaFEyAAoJEIda1rvbz/7LItYIAIXVIimLAg4c6zS2AkwJaqmL evd96dnrSRoFTyt/hBQLV20/2/pcPKeOb/jm6jq8+KRBhlai4tlIAe6T6m6J/HTw OS5D0tgAr42btQQJFcwPUhhvGjO3suEaHOvYkkQKRHNoqM4bkETq8o2nM81vnRgs rG/vEHML3SDSNTKJy+ENUEGmuiJrTA0I3nyEL+owLk9qZ/wxALMs/u8uTE9sbXHM 5FrLNwEd59Tl/AsN+B44AX16kS9g6RQU0poQnnrxt+6JiA4MG5gimeXdpvmxUKJW +k0+MDj+29Eg4X69qwVYNDvFPJ/hmJMiTy0M/TsHdaCxYTu4bSClwOTgOVYEiu8= =L2Ko -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
