Why can't you still be a volunteer and not get into arguments? I disagree with many people from time to time - I have been known on occasion to disagree with you :-). Hell I have a lengthy exchange or two with Daniel and Louis and I could spend a lot more time arguing on the lists. Its certainly fun sometimes but in the end the main contribution as a volunteer is in either development or getting more people using OOo. Don't take the arguments so seriously it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Just do your own thing ;-) -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMS Ltd
