How do we go about putting our mailing list on hold? I also plan to switch to a new email address for this mailing list, can someone refer me to the documentation on how to do this (or to resign up and leave).
I would also like to add that we need to keep this mailing list professional as this is not a private helpdesk mailing list but a public forum for the clients and volunteer help. I do appreciate the work people have put in here and hope this continues. I work at a help desk as my day job and volunteer as I can here (as I start to learn OpenOffice myself). I try and not to chime in unless I know a significant deal about the problem and the resolution. As I learn more I expect to be a pretty active contributor. Maybe we need to have a more formal helpdesk like helpstar or something else open source out there I don't know. But do please keep this list professional and treat the people that need help, the helpers with respect. People took the time to use our product, still interested enough to ask questions and not back off, we owe it to them to listen and provide the best advice we can. With this many people on the list we have so much potential and the resources are endless. I would love to have this many people help me at my day job helpdesk. I will leave you with a quote that applies to everyone here at the OpenOffice user help mailing list "Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning."

People on *this* list have been relatively good on this so far, but it's a real pain to receive a bucket-load of 'out of office' emails every time you send a post to the list. People should either put their mailing list subscriptions on hold, or *not* put an out-of-office reply on their account. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
