Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Nabble: friend or foe?

Hi :)  
I'm not sure it's really worth it even if that was $100/yr to cover all the lists.  Usually the 
adverts are not so bad.  I'm just having a bad hair day as work is committing to spending more 
moeny on more MS 2010 licenses now that MSO 2013 is so imminent.  Which 
a) ensures we yet again get stuck with the older version while everyone else moves onto the newer 
one
b) is an expense we can't really afford right now and blocks me from doing things that really do 
need to be done  
c) how much more agro do they need from MSO before they realise they've never had any trouble with 
LO.  
d) guess who has to install the pos!!
[sighs deeply]
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi,

The ads are not from Google, at least I believe that is correct.

We could turn them off totally - but that would require some money - not
a lot, roughly $100 USD per annum was the estimate I came up with about
5 months ago.
