Registration of OpenOffice is optional. I believe one of the options
is "Already registered" or similar. Choose that and you won't have to
go through registration. If that isn't the registration you're
seeing, please provide more details, as you shouldn't have to do
anything else to use OpenOffice.
I've had a question about this optional registration. What is the
benefit of registering? OK, two questions.... Will registering with
OO.o, will that put my eMail address on a list of "associates" or some
such friend company of OO.o where I'll be receiving eMail from companies
I have not requested mail from.
Personally, I don't care how it's written in, if I don't personally
request or give my personal ok to a particular company or organization
to send me eMail, then I don't want it and it's spam.
I've yet to see an agreement that said anything like "In registering,
these sponsors will be given permission to eMail you. If you do not
wish their eMails, click here: [] If you get their eMails, and wish to
unsubscribe, you can do so by contacting that company.:"
this-company.com
that-company.com
Spam-inc.com
nomail.com
However, I have gotten a program and afterward gotten many spams I knew
nothing about, from which I could NOT unsubscribe.
If I don't personally and specifically request a particular company's
mail, I will mark it as spam or junk and get shed of it.
Again, as I've mentioned above, What is the benefit of registering? OK,
two questions.... Will registering with OO.o, will that put my eMail
address on a list of "associates" or some such friend company of OO.o
where I'll be receiving eMail from companies I have not requested mail from.
OK, I'm done with the soap box. NEXT!
