This one has already picked up that I'm in Australia ...
This page is far more "professional" in appearance. That we are fielding
so many "support" posts in here as of late, by posters claiming they are
registering and paying money for OpenOffice.org - I am not surprised
because if the first thing you can see when using Google and looking for
OpenOffice, what crops up are links to these scamming sites.
I am also in Australia. I must have somehow disabled the display of
sponsored links on Google search results pages, because I don't see any
of them, on any searches. Now I have no idea how I did that!
I'm writing a blog entry on this topic, which I intend to post on
several of my blogs (which have different audiences). Not sure how much
help that will be, but perhaps the word will get around. And no, I'm not
giving any links to the offenders' sites!
