Hi again, Thanks to everyone who has expressed a balanced, objective opinion about this.
I don't want to spend a lot time here arguing about ads. I understand that it's a sensitive subject, I'm sorry that some people disagree, and I respect their opinions. But I would like to mention that I don't really have any control over the ad content, that is determined by Google. That being said, It seems rather strange to refer to Microsoft Office as "competition" and to show such a level of contempt toward it. I personally do not own, use, or even like Microsoft Office. But it isn't a taboo, shady, spammy, startup job. Like it or not, it's the industry standard still, and will continue to be so for a long time. Irrational hatred and attempts to obliterate all references to Microsoft or any other commercial project are counterproductive and don't seem to agree with the free spirit around LibreOffice. I have made a conscientious, informed, intelligent decision to use LibreOffice instead of Microsoft Office, and no amount of forum ads will sway me. I would hope and expect that most other users of the forum will likewise have the presence of mind to make a rational decision based on their own needs. That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
