Tom, Interesting reaction but I am afraid we are bothing peope doing real work here. Anne-ology, you and I are the ONLY three people top posting in this thread. The others seem to follow the netiquette. Are they out-dated? Are the majority of posters posting correctly on the LibreOffice mailing lists outdated and irrelevant? I do not think so. On top of that, Anne-ology's replies are always visually odd with random line breaks and indents that are simply bothersome and hickack entire threads. She is the only person who does that to my knowledge.
Last but not least this list is not the users list Tom. Please don't tell me about ne users . This mailing list is not a place for new users, it is the l10n list. As for my post being off topic: of course it was, since Anne-ology post was clearly off topic itself and that was my first comment on it. Charles.
