1 or 2 specific instances of something working does not prove that it always works.
We have had a number of strange errors in the lists where people have had both LO and OOo installed. Uninstalling one or the other has often been stated as solving problems. I am sorry you don't remember. If you want people to keep having problems and spend ages trouble-shooting when an easy answer is apparently fixing things for people then i really don't know what to suggest. Personally i would prefer to solve problems fast with the least amount of trouble to non-technical users. Rather than spamming the list with accusations why not simply provide your alternative answer? Lets see whose approach solves the problem-at-hand fastest.
