To Lisi Reisz and users: I agree with her statement entirely, including
the learning about OOo, and do use my delete button, also! :-)

Hello all, I've been using this mailing list for 3 or 4 months thinking
that its main purpose is to help people joining the OO community to
learn how to use Open Office. Instead, I have seen endless rants and
pointless discussions about matters that have nothing to do with helping
people with OO. I'm just citing a few items : Top posting vs Bottom
posting (please stop it), OO needs an e-mail client (going on forever);
download time for OO (went immediately off track and landed to the
American Constitution and the size of gold coins at the actual rates).
Do we want to go on like that or shall we finally go back th the main
purpose of the mailing list ? Helping people with Open Office, nothing
else, and leave the rest to the philosophers. Personally I will
unsubscribe from the list if the current trend continues. Best regards.

I have a delete button :-) So do you.
You are, of course, free to unsubscribe. But I do not see the main purpose
being to "help people joining the OO community to learn how to use Open
Office". That is certainly one of its purposes - but it is, I would have
thought, also to enable people to help each other and to build up a
supportive community.
I too dislike political and religious discussions. But I do not have to read
them. And I dislike even more those emails which try to dictate what
everyone else must do. Even the moderators only _request_. Tho' I do feel
that we should respect their requests. Which is why I did not reply before
to your _OT_ post. However, now that you have written again to criticise the
community, I feel that I must point out that no-one is forcing you to stay.
If you want to stay and learn (and I for one have learnt a lot) you would be
warmly welcomed. If you do not, you are obviously free to leave as soon as
you wish to do so.
