only use open office when I have a semester that has classes where a lot
of paper writing is required.
So tell me, what is the difference between sending an email to:
[email protected] and posting a message to usenet
gmane.comp.openoffice.questions ?

This is what Gmane offers. Mailing lists are funneled into news groups.
This isn't a new idea; several mail-to-news gateways exist. What's new
This reply reminds me of The Church Lady from Saturday Night Live's
Church Chat series of skits. She always interviewed her guests with a
pompous and condescending attitude. It may have not been intended as
such, but from this end here, this reply sure seems rather
condescending. Obviously, technology has blurred the lines between a
usenet newsgroup and a mailing list. Perhaps not the best analogy but
similar to the difference between a "newsreader" and an "email" program.
I had no idea certain lists were also available via usenet. I guess it
is true - you do learn something new every day!
I am using the gname.org usegroups with Thunderbird and have the Country
lookup extensiong to see where a message is coming from. This extension
is not useful in this newsserver since all the messages show as coming
from Norway, except yours, that is from the United States. How did you
post it?
