Hello Chad, I am very sorry to see you go. I read this list but usually don't post on it, but today I guess it's worth writing some answer here. I don't think it's worth wasting your time with people like the guy you were answering the other day on [EMAIL PROTECTED] . I really don't think it's worth your time, pain, and energy.
I could very simply tell you to come back, but I won't because it may be useless at that point. But let me just ask you to consider this : aside of the discuss list where you can meet a lot of people just passing by with questions like "how come you didn't include an email client in your office suite ?" twenty times per day, there are other mailing lists, such as this one, such as [EMAIL PROTECTED], etc... And notice, the guy you were arguing with isn't on any one of them. Just drop it and come back on other lists where there's fun and excitement (and a lot of work to be done) ! Chad, I believe you have friends on this list and elsewhere on OOo. I believe I'm one of them. Please, stay. You are very appreciated here. Best, Charles.
