Mr. Weir, You lost the ability to moderate my behavior on this list when you went after me for stating law and policy, saying I was threatening someone when I was not. You cannot threaten someone with the law. The law is. The consequences exist for illegal activity and that which violates the user's ISP policy. You have chilled free speech on this list.
The moderators, collectively, have allowed this list to get so out of hand, I am amazed that any questions get answered. Instead of learning the program, I am spending time trying to get you to do your jobs and ensure this is a safe place for people to post questions that may sound stupid, as people learn the program. Please furnish me with the name and email address of the people who choose moderators on this list. Also, while there is no "right" to post on this list, there is a set of assumptions based on this product being an open source project that is freely available. Hence your statement about posting on this list being a "privilege" is both specious and misleading. Likely you meant it that way. It is wholly disingenuous to support an open source/free product and then say that everyone on this list doesn’t have the right to be here. It is not in keeping with the apache or open source projects. When a moderator so greatly misspeaks, it is no wonder that the users on this list are at each other's throats.

That is something we can do, but for now I'd like to remind us all of it: http://openoffice.apache.org/list-conduct.html Remember, no one has a right to post on this list. It is a privilege. To the extent any person's or persons' conduct becomes disruptive of the purpose of this list (supporting users of Apache OpenOffice) this privilege can be revoked. This is an administrative note. It does not require a response.
