:-( I understand both: - Andreas, who is a high-level Libre/OpenOffice expert and really needs exact and non-distracting communication and - Tom who is a genius in association and cross-connection but with a high percentage of (sometimes incredibly wrong) guessing Personally, I'm in favour of Andreas' way of communication as I also get distracted too easy by Tom's frequent associations. But as far as I perceive it, a bunch of subscribers do appreciate Tom's friendly tone, even if the contents is sometimes not very helpful. Does anybody know a good solution for this dilemma? The perhaps clearest way would be to set up a list policy, which says that only short answers are allowed, or that only solution suggestions are welcome, which the writer has tested himself - or something similar. But IMHO it's absolutely not easy/trivial to define exactly what is welcome and what not. A different idea could be to split the list into a "first" and "second" level support, with diffrerent list policies (e.g. in list 2 only to-the-point-communication, no distraction allowed). Another idea could be to ask Andreas to try to ignore Tom's messages, and ask Tom to try to restrain himself. Does this sound helpful?
