Yes Andrew, I am fully aware of the history behind oooforum.org and the number of times in 10+ years the owner has refused outside help. You & I both remember in the early days of OOo it was proposed to merge the two forums and Ed would not even join in the discussion. He may well be a very busy person and as you observe in another post "you could call it a sentimental attachment", but over the years users have contributed a vast amount of useful material, which is all too frequently locked away from other users because of his personal workload and/or sentimentality. My original reply was not intended as a criticism, it was just note to indicate that one of the two longest established forums was not always accessible. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
