> Hi Tom,

Just to clarify, I'm not saying that anythng done to date is useless or 
otherwise unedesirable in any way. All I want is for the simple, original 
bug list of bugs that have always been there need to be fixed. LO should do 
what it says it'll do.  I seem to be getting back noise that says bug fixing 
is of no interest to anyone on the dev teams. That bothers me because it 
prevents a huge number of people from doing more than testing LO for a few 
days and stopping when such up-front, obvious a lst of bugs as exists 
becomes apparent.
