> > This list should be like a normal list and require people to subscribe > before postling. > It serves as a support mailing address for total newbies through to experts that want to ask questions. If you insist that the newbies learn how to use a mailing list before they can post a question, they will be less likely to ask their question. It works. In addition, many of the help questions come via an online forum IIUC. Those that don't like it and know better do have other alternatives. a. Unsubscribe themselves and only ask when they have an issue - then follow the thread via their browser. b. Use the forum: http://www.oooforum.org/ c. Alternative PC co-support help avenues. I'm not telling you to get lost if you don't like it. Please just understand why it is this way. Understand that it is moderated and we get very little spam through. It actually takes a certain kind of person to maintain a level of interest in helping others and not getting upset by the small things around here. I know i myself have over-reacted on more than one occasion, no canonization here! -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
