So the forum traffic dwarfs the mailing list traffic. Perhaps you should compare to the LibreOffice user support list since they have active development. There were 335 post to that list in the last week. I am very pleased to hear that providing user support is not important. That really doesn't add to the conversation, Larry. Neither does your repeated negativity about mailing lists. Or your throwing in red herrings like the number of mailing lists OOo has, most of which aren't support lists. _ Larry I.

It didn't come from this list that way. It seems that either gmane or the list-serve for this list was confused by the fact the subject line was an email address.
