The date is screwed up on your E-maiil message and that might effect whether people even see your message.

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?
