Brian, I think there is no need to become harsh here.
I for myself am using LibreOffice for as long as it exists, and before that OpenOffice. Rather recently I 'found' this list when I had a problem with LibreOffice and I was really happy with the help I got. I was on aware of the other lists before this whole discussion came around. And yes, I am subscribed to some other lists now! So, the posting, although strictly not for this list, had its value (at least for me). Wouldn't it be a good idea to reference a page with all lists in the standard footer on the mails from the list. Also, one could argue that anyone on any list is probably also interested in the announce list, so, we could also prompt (or add) people to that list automatically apon subscribing to any other list. Just a thought :-) Best regards, Rob.
