I'm merely pointing the constructive ways to deal with user problems. Our productive choices are: 1. Answer questions about functionality 2. Confirm known problems and offer workarounds 3. Help troubleshoot new issues 4. Once issues are confirmed entering them into Bugzilla 5. Fixing issues At no time is complaining a productive use of this list, especially for a new issue, just reported, when it is not clear it is even an OpenOffice issue. So let's get back to the the intended purpose of the list, which is to support users of OpenOffice. As users have made clear, they are frustrated when this list is used as a general discussion/gripe list. -Rob > I thank you for your contributiions to AOO. > > I have been using OpenOffice for quite some time without issues..
