Hi :) Most people and especially those that are new to the lists will top-post because that is what they are most familiar with. Office workers have almost never seen any alternative. Unless the office apps are not aimed at office users then it's ridiculous to expect anything else.
Is it good to start off by telling people off for not doing things your way when we are supposed to be offering them choices? Should we alienate people and make them feel that to use LibreOffice they have to completely change their entire lifestyle? Is our main aim here to change the way people post or is it to help people move to LibreOffice?

Well, for the most part imo. Please stay in context Tom - and PLEASE stop top-posting in an inline posted thread (I expect this admonition to fall on deaf ears because you have already demonstrated your blatant disregard for respecting the List Posting Guidelines, and refuse to acknowledge the difference between *blindly* *bottom* posting and intelligently in-line posting). The complaint wasn't about general file format support, it was comparing OOo (prior to LibO splitting off) to subsequent version of LibO. I maintain my comment that *all* version of LibO have been at least as good, but mostly much *better* than prior version of OOo...
