RE: [libreoffice-marketing] Need help with EN text and improving it

Marc,
It looks fine,

I've reworded some parts, you may choose to ignore it.
=======================
Thank you very much for your e-mail and your interest in LibreOffice.

Due to the increasing popularity of the free office suite, we receive a lot of support requests 
everyday. 
Unfortunately, we cannot reply to every e-mail, as our engagement in the project is completely 
voluntary and restricted to our spare time. 
This engagement demands several hours of efforts per day, leaving no time to respond to individual 
requests.

However, the Community does offer a large variety of mailing lists to support its users. 
We have compiled an overview of these lists at
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/

Please look at the page, and send your inquiry to the applicable mailing list. 
Chances are high that you will get a positive response very soon.
=======================

It would be great if we could point to a user forum for queries and feedback instead of the link to 
the mailing lists.
Let me know if I can help out in that initiative.

regards
Dhiren
