Oh, dumb me. I should mention, on this thread, that one reason why OOo had relatively many posters mis-posting messages and so on was because unlike a lot of other foss projects then--less so now--it was amphibolic user/develoeper, and that did not usually work out so well for those users wanting nothing more than the application. This meant then that so many of the rules that govern a developer site were bent to accommodate regular users who were not by any means developers or even contributors-and who had no clue, even after reading the warnings, of what it meant to send an email message to a list. I am *not* saying we ought to do the same thing here. Quite the opposite. I have maintained that it's best to focus on development and contribution here and to have a proper focus users elsewhere, though "elsewhere" could easily be within the generous embrace of Apache. louis
