In fairness to the people who ask the "Vista question", the questions
would go away if the OOo web site would just add Vista to the list of
Windows operating systems on the download page. (As of now, it just says
Windows 2000, NT, and XP.)

I say you're a saint. ;) The vista question gets asked at LEAST half a
dozen
times, EVERY SINGLE DAY, usually more.

I have some unbelievably important questions to ask all of you. I
realise that these questions may very well have been asked before, but I
think I am justified in asking them again, and I encourage others who
read this question ( and more importantly, those who *don't* ) to ask
the same question again, and again, and again, regardless of the content
or volume of answers given.

1) Is OpenOffice compatible with Vista?
1.5) No, seriously. Answer it again. Is OpenOffice compatible with
Vista?
2) How do I install OpenOffice on my Mac? It keeps telling me to upgrade
X11, but I already have.
3) Is there an Outlook equivalent? How do I email from OpenOffice?
4) Is OpenOffice compatible with Microsoft Office?
5) Citizen X is selling OpenOffice on Ebay. The scoundrels!

Now seriously, I oppose the gun lobby and their argument that people
have a right to bear arms, but sometimes I wonder whether people in the
gun lobby are just old OpenOffice mailing list lurkers who are fed up
with FAQs from newbies ... especially newbies who aren't even subscribed
and who force others to forward all responses to them manually.
- People who want to post to the list should be subscribed.
- The subscription process should include reading a list of FAQs and
their answers, possibly with a confirmation checkbox against each FAQ.
- When a subscription is activated, the FAQ should be emailed to the
subscriber, just in case.
It's a real turn off to check my OpenOffice folders and see the same
questions asked over & over. It's a waste of people's time, and it means
that others who have legitimate questions are having time stolen from
them by people who can't be bothered searching the list archives.
I am personally volunteering to assemble a FAQ ( I'll try to keep the
sarcasm to a minimum ... ). I don't know about the subscription process,
but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to integrate the above into it.
What say ye?
