Then it makes OOo user look like a bunch of super computer geeks who
already know how to do what they need. That leads to:
1) The impression that "normal" people cannot use OOo
2) There is no need for the author to write OOo-specific articles, as
the OOo users already know how to do what they need.

If they are answering questions, then they will get readers. If you
show that you already know the answers, then why should he write?

From experience, the best way to get someone interested in a product
is to ask them a question, not give them an answer.
