Total nonsense.

The fact is the new generation have little regard/respect for the open
source community. There has been only one previous post that had the
grace to accept the ethos and adapt, instead of being lazy (i.e. for
digest mode users, message users+get-10643@global.libreoffice.org)

Apparently, increasing numbers are choosing to ignore convention. Such
people unable to adjust their own behaviour (e.g. choosing an
appropriate program) can probably not be relied upon to encourage
others (and use LO); the limit of their encouragement is: "look you
can send m$ documents for free!

Onto another favourite topic: LO promotion.

Focus on corporate markets for LO is flawed, there are too many
factors to consider. If you complaint is to get LO to be a perfect m$
clone, please send your requests to m$.

Instead, the focus should be on individuals and flawless use odf documents.
