Worse yet, everyone here are volunteers, nobody gets paid by the hour or anything else.
So you took careful aim and shot at a big straw man.

Maybe so Jim, but how do you folks actually working on the code expect to get a bug report when the user cannot file one? That was my bug report, it should be treated as such unless the end user's experiences aren't worth a bucket of warm spit. Do you wait till a paying customer (StarOffice) squawks to take action? That certainly wasn't what they bought a real copy for. Not that its all that high, it isn't, and I've even considered buying it from time to time.
Or do I miss-understand the claimed common source connection between OpenOffice and StarOffice?
Basically, Brian, I'm an end user, like so many others here. I have only the vaguest notion of the connection between StarOffice and OpenOffice.
I'm afraid I have to agree with you about the reporting of bugs and issues. I've given up on that because I still can't figure out the page.
Part of it is that one is apparently supposed to browse through all the reports to see if someone is reporting the same thing, so they don't get numerous reports of the same bug. And there are IIRC, some 14000 items listed.
This means that bugs are being reported, by people who have the time to work their way through the process.
So clearly there appear to be only a small minority, like myself, who just do not have the time to go through the process. So bugs are being reported, and worked on.
