[libreoffice-users] top-posting

Hi :)

I think those lovely, wonderful people at MicroSoft run Yahoo so i have been 
thinking about moving to a different web-based email system but the choices are 
limited to things such as Gmail.  In England there is a phrase "Out of the 
frying pan into the fire" which sums up how i feel about such a move.  This 
whole question about top-posting has shown me 3 things

1.  MicroSoft defaults are 'sometimes' sub-optimal
2.  MicroSoft gives Freedom FROM Choice whereas OpenSource 'sometimes' offers 
Freedom OF Choice.
3.  The list can't handle normal office users.

The first point is not news; it's more 'olds'.  Same with the 2nd point.  The 
3rd point is an unpopular idea in this list that leads to bullying and is just 
sad for an "Office Suite" list = it's an office suite for techies & geeks, not 
for normal corporate or mainstream office users.  While people harangue or 
harass or bully me about stating this rather than considering why i might make 
this claim it remains one of the reasons that blocks LibreOffice and OpenOffice 
from widespread mainstream usage.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I thought this mailing list was about promoting the use of LibeOffice,
an not of Thunderbird...
