I appreciate the issues that you have raised however you could have earned more respect and perhaps some converts if you had approached this in a more factual manner from the outset. Certainly there is a bias towards spamassassin on this mailing list because it works and we can get all the help we need. Now if you really want to advocate something start out with a positive mindset and worse say, "don't expect a response". Advocacy must be a positive thing, one that side you second half of you email had the information and appears reasoned out. I am responding to ensure that Open Source as a whole is represented in a positive light. Imagine if I posted a tirade about how bad the other open source projects that provide the same facilities as OpenOffice.org. I do not declare it the best for every instance, gnumeric possibly is the better spreadsheet for simpler sheets for example. I hope that you take this post in a positive light and help us all by marketing Open Source in the best possible light at all times. If you genuinely want to convert people then subscribe for a while and offer assistance to help others to install dspam. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
