Before this discussion moves on to another list, I think I should point
out who a user is: the only reason for the product to be produced and
the only one who can judge the quality of the product. If the product is
not meeting the users needs, then it is useless to spend any time or
money on it. If the only recommendation to solve a user's problems is
to get a different product, then is there any need for the product in
the beginning.
If, as many here assert, OpenOffice is superior to all these other
programs, why does it not meet all the needs that the other programs
did, even if it has to use a different means to achieve it. Neither the
demand for "reveal codes" not the insistence that is is unnecessary
addresses the issue that there is a real need for the *user who is,
after all the only reason for the product.*

Hello,
THis discussion should really be moved to discuss or social. However, I
see that some of you really like WP so I thought that the following
might encourage you to accept OOo as it is and go on to other more
important things.
While you might bringup a point that this 'seems' to be dragging along, I
disagree that we should have to move on. A list like this is to discuss the
usage of the software, and discuss improvements.
Wrong list, Joe. THis list is for helping users _NOT_ for discussion.
That is what [email protected] is for. If you REALLY want WP then
I guess you will have to figure out how to get it. But please take the
discussion elsewhere.

Then when they came for me, there was no one left to stand up for me.' (Martin Niemöller)
