of course it isn't. I agree! I was deliberately tackling a slightly different issue: there are people who are willing to be support volunteers, but only if they can work exclusively through email. Whether AOO needs such people is another issue. My real point is not "ooo MUST do support only/also via mailing lists". It is "IF support must be provided (also) through mailing lists, please don't repeat certain errors". > The autoresponder thing sounds interesting. So you don't allow any > non-suscriber traffic.

Of course you can do that too, but: what I have been suggesting is something else, much more flexible, without any manual reposting or guesswork. I explained it several times since 2002 on the OOo lists, the last one in this December 2011 thread (in which also Mike took part): http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg126205.html so I won't start from scratch now. Please take the time to read my explanations in that short thread, and if after that there's some doubt, don't hesitate to ask here for further clarifications.
