Dear Roger, My name is Christel and I am not one of the volunteers who devotely answer the questions on this list. I am but a humble user. It is not my habit to answer any of the message I read ont the list. I merely use this list as a database of tips and tricks for when I might encounter a problem.
But you have used such strong rude words that I cannot leave your mail unanswered. Apart from Firefox, OpenOffice has been THE one flagship opensource piece of software that is totally completely reliable, in some instance more powerful than MsOffice, and has helped many non-profit organisations, or simply individuals like me who cannot afford the Ms suite. In all instance that I have shared a file with Ms Office users, there's never been a problem of compatibility. In all instances that I closed the programme - provided I had saved the file - I have never lost a single file. The mere concept of the OOo being faulty had never even crossed my mind. And I'm memory-intensive. I do complex cross-reference tables with heavy financial formulas, long long texts on Writer with styles, imported graphs, and the whole kaboom. Never had a singled glitch with saving. I find the tone of your mail totally uncalled for, and insulting to the developpers and volunteers, even to simple users like me, who use OOo everyday - without a glitch. Hence my taking the time to write this reply. You can go back to Microsoft. SUN/Novell people, rest assured that there are thousands, if not millions, of happy users of OOo who appreciate your work. We may not say it, but no complaints is our best compliment. Listen to our overwhelming silence. Christel Johannesburg, South Africa. --------------------------------------------- On Monday 23 July 2007 11:40:22 Roger Wray wrote: Your Calc program is a failure. I spend hours working on a .csv files only to have the sheet lost when I closed the program. There were 2 sheets in the file and it deleted the second one I created without any warning. Thank you for your inability to write a program. Going back to Microsoft. Don't know what other thing might be waiting to destroy my work. Your bug or issue reporting does not save the user time. It is only for self centered you. Hell of a way to promote SUN. Will not be using another product by SUN. I will also be letting the internet know that their job is in limbo if they try to use any SUN products. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
