However... You post an annoucement on this list (over 5 hours ago) that this list will be shutting down - not a trivial post. I post questions regarding such about 2 hours later, and your only post since then is to chastise Larry? > > If you want more details on how the users list will work, I'd > recommend you start a thread over there, since this openoffice.org > list is soon going to disappear.

You can't just 'hit & run' on this list and close it down without *first* giving the users of *this* list the benefit of knowing how/what/why, etc. Oh, and also updating the web pages that I pointed out. By my count this list has over 29416 posts archived going back to 2002. At least that is what I can see from the posts I can read via gmane.org.

Again: "Is this what can be expected from ooo-apache in the future?". Many users on this list may not even have a clue as to what 'incubator.apache.org' is, who /you/ are, and why this is all taking place. The users on this list went through several months of trauma regarding the transition from Sun to Oracle list changes (including bug reporting). Now you show up with this? Answer my question, explain the points I made regarding the web pages and your new list, and stick around to answer questions regarding the affect it will have on users on *this* list. Only then will you have (IMO) any credibilty here. ... -- Will the last user on this list kindly please turn out the lights, lock the door, and post a google map with directions to Apache/IBM? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
