------- Additional comments from chadle...@openoffice.org Fri Dec 17 18:02:14 +0000 2010 ------- @rimugu Yes, they *were* part because *they abandoned OOo* - note, the community didn't abandon OOo, the LibreOffice forkers - *they* (of their own free will) abandoned OpenOffice.org. Oracle didn't force them to leave. Again, it's impossible for them to do that. Oracle cannot stop people from helping others on the users list, from contributing code, from doing anything an open source community is supposed to do, but it's open source. By it's very nature, it resists centralized control. And, you still missed the major point, which was that the forkers had, what, 8 years, to work on this particular fix before Oracle had anything to do with OpenOffice.org. To blame Oracle for this bug not getting fixed for nearly a decade, when they were not even remotely involved during most of that time, makes no sense. So either you are an idiot who doesn't understand the nature of linear time - or you are a bald faced liar. Which is it? The fact is, this bug report has sat - untouched by *ANYONE* - community, Sun, Oracle, Google, Novell, LibreOffice Forkers, you, me - whoever - for over 8.5 years. I can't code. I can't afford to pay someone to write the code for me. I don't have the time to learn how to code. So, yes, I am as guilty as anyone else in not making this fix happen. But so are the LibreOffice Forkers. They are no more likely to fix this than Oracle, Sun, or Microsoft for that matter. When they actually do fix it, you come back here and let us know, ok? You know - when there is actually something *RELEVANT TO THIS BUG* to say. Otherwise, shut up. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
