To those who have commented about my personal life, work ethic, etc:  You
don't know who I am or what my work ethic is.  It is my job to make the
best of OpenOffice and I am doing so.  I help people whenever possible
with their OOo problems, and I ask questions like anyone else when I have
problems.  I don't hate OOo.  But if the question is "is openoffice right
for businesses who depend on their office suite", my answer is that "it
isn't there yet".


Mr Schirmacher makes a valid and important point here. Fewer argumenta ad
hominem - or for that matter, ad Microsoft - and more discussion of points
raised would do a better job of winning and retaining users for OOo. Mr
Schirmacher's original error, as I see it, was his failure to support his
conclusion by referring in his first posting to those concrete problems he
and his firm have had in using OOo - the «over 20 bugs» - but this sin of
omission no way justifies personal attacks on him....
