Is it necessary to insult everyone who mentions missing elements in
OOo.org? OOo.org is a great program that I highly recommend to everyone
instead of Microcrap Office. However, there are many people on this
list who should take their insulting comments and go work for
Microsoft. I am sure they would drive many customers over to OOo.org :)
It was a light-hearted jab. I stand by the content though. I will also
point out that none of them will have been insulted, because they will
not have read this thread. How many people have rocked up and asked the
same question without searching the archives?
I take your point that you don't like my attitude towards those in
question. Fair enough. Similarly, I don't like the attitudes of those
who choose to use OpenOffice not because it's open-source, but because
they don't have to pay for it, and then have the audacity to demand
features or they'll " ... go back to MS Office, so help me God!".
Nice quip about me going to work for Microsoft though. Caught me
off-guard!
This discussions sounds like a patient arguing with a doctor, while the
doctor tell them what they have inside and reasons of what they have
inside. The patient will argue with arguments such as it hurt me on the
lower part of my arm without understanding much of what the doctor say.
This is the same issue with developers and end users triying to come to
reason.
End users see the blinking lights and developers see the actual processes.
That is why we haven't come and will never come to an understandment.
However this is where the Marketing project need to step forward since is
the bridge for translating the message to end users. I think this is what
they ought to be doing and come with a solution once and for all. Once
said that this is the discuss list where this discussions happen everyday
without lookng back.
I guess that after 2 months of ranting about this issue we really need to
escalate it to an announcement on this topic. As a member of the marketing
list, I will enforce a discussion on solving this very issue once and for
all.
