OK Richard. Perhaps you missed this part: "Welcome the the list & congrats on using nntp/gmane to do so :-)" with the little smiley thing on the end? You know, we all have a bad hair day once in awhile & quite often information conveyed in email isn't always the way that it appears. I reckon that amongst my 2,515 posts to this list: <http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SearchList?list=users&searchText=NoOp&defaultField=author&Search=Search> I may have been sarcastic a few times. But I think that you'll find that the bulk of my posts have been a genuine effort to help folks here. So, I indeed apologize to Ian. OK? Now perhaps we can get back to our regular channel? :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
