Joe, You may be interested in this article on a phenomenon that we call bikeshedding:
http://bikeshed.com/ Just because there are lots of people contributing to this mailing list does not necessarily mean that the original poster's problem was resolved. :=) Additionally, the OpenOffice Users mailing list is not the only way you can provide help to others. Another option that is available to you is the OpenOffice support forum, available at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ (a link to the English forum). If you require some sort of privacy while providing support, the forum allows you to send private messages to people, which are not posted online. I'm not sure how much this helps, but we certainly hope you stay involved with the Apache OpenOffice project. As it stands now, we need all the support we can get.
