LMAO, +10 points to Mathias Bauer for slamming that idot John Tyler in the most
polite way I've ever seen.
I can't believe there are instructions at the bottom of EVERY email, including
the one generated by his message, on how to subscribe, and he's too stupid to
follow those instructions.
I mean, if you are reading this John, please don't' go killing yourself
or anything, maybe you're just having a bad day. The instructions were: To
unsubscribe send email to discuss-unsubscr...@openoffice.org
But seriously, he came across as SUCH a douche, and Mathias, I've never seen
such a polite ass woopin online before, that rocked,.. it made my day.

Hi,
with the explicit wording you have used in your mail I doubt that you are
qualified to write about netiquette.
Besides that, this is not a matter of netiquette, it's a matter of how the
mailing list software works. The ML software of OOo works as it works, and I
know other project where it works in the same way. That doesn't mean that it is
perfect, but OTOH it's easy to understand and you are told how it works in
every mail you receive. Being able to read is a clear advantage that you
shouldn't abandon.
Nevertheless, in case you are unable to read or follow the advice in the mail
footer for whatever reason, usually kind people would help to unsubscribe you
in case you asked politely. In case you know what "polite" means.
Maybe you don't understand what I have written above. So let me translate it
into your "language":
You showed a typical example of making a fool of yourself by choosing an
inadequate communication style: why make it simple if you can fuck it up?
I don't care who has registered in your name or with your account of how that
has been done, I have a very poor opinion of you and that's that.
Please apologize if my translation lacks the "elegance" of your own wording, my
knowledge of your "language" is somewhat limited.
Regards,
Mathias
