That's correct.   Just post to libreoffice-users
(users@global.libreoffice.org), as you are doing right now.

RE: [libreoffice-users] The tone of thiese Lists (from a newbie)

2011-11-26 Thread Bob Houston

Hi,I hope it's OK to jump in with a question, because I'm one of the newbies 
that you may be talking about.
I sent an email off to (user+help) on 11/23 about a problem with the display of 
hidden characters (The Pilcrow) that I am having on two systems.
Since sending the email I have been receiving a boat load of libreoffice-users 
emails that I am finding very informative but nothing about my Pilcrow.
Questions:
Did I send it to the right place?Do I even know if it was received?Is there an 
input queue that it goes into and I'll see something when it's looked at?And 
lastly, does anyone on this list know how to get my Pilcrows back.
Sorry for jumping in but thanks in advance.
Bob

 Hi :)
 We have phases.  This is a fairly bad phase but we have had worse and got 
 through.  Typically we arrive the other side of these bad times better 
 friends than we were previously and with more understanding of how other 
 people think.  It's all part of being in a community.  Someone has an 
 excellent signature saying something like Friends argue.  Non-friends just 
 don't care enough.

Hi :)
Weird.  I couldn't find your question.  I had a look through Nabble 
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/
and also checked all through my in-box for the last few days.  (That's usually 
a good way to find a post that accidentally (or deliberately) hijacked a 
thread).  

The best way to ask a question is to write a new email rather than just using 
Reply to.  Or in Nabble click New Topic somewhere top(ish) left.  GMane 
will have something similar no doubt.  

Please could you ask again but make it a new question?

Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for the quick response.  My question was sent directly to (user+help)

users+help is not a list, it is used to send you instructions about how to

2011-11-26 Thread David S. Crampton

Bob,

I made the same mistake when I first signed up. I was sending questions to  
users+help. The syntax makes that sound reasonable. After the 3rd try of  
getting the same boilerplate help message back I found the correct:  
users@global.libreoffice.org.  That's what puts you in business!


Good luck,
David S. Crampton
