Good afternoon all, particularly the moderators
I have been criticised a few times for top posting on this list. I
haven't participated much since the last critic.

Your personal issues aside, IMO it's silly to restart this useless thread
which will never come to a conclusion or acceptance by both camps.
If you're so sensitive about a little criticism, I respectfully suggest
that you learn how to toughen your hide and how to ignore things you don't
like reading.
If you're unwilling to follow conventions and RFCs and even at least one
FYI on the subject, then perhaps you're not right for posting on usenet
groups. Forums might better suit you. It's pretty unreasonable to expect
the masses to change to YOUR opinion when you've clearly show that you will
not change to THEIR opinions.
In addition, you haven't even used the convention for indicating an
off-topic post, which this definitely is. Check the name of the group
against what you wrote: Your post has nothing to do with openoffice
questions but is social in nature. All in all it tells me that you have
little knowledge of the differences between things like e-mail, groups,
forums and many of the conventions and best practices, such as staying on
topic and if you can't find a group where you WILL be on topic. If there is
no group where your post fits, then consider why that might be so. Common
sense will explain most of it to you.
Have any opinons you want; that's your right, just as it is mine and
everyone else's here. But don't start silly threads with known posts that
will result in known off topic arguements, debates and even trolling. It is
unlikely in the extreme that anyone is going to offer anything that has not
already been posted a gazillion times in various places on the 'net.
It is detrimental to the group in general and rude to the point of making
you appear as either ignorant or trollish in nature. I'll often feed trolls
one time but that's all, so you won't likely have to put up with further
posts from me.
HTH,
Twayne
