RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: odf purists mailing list request

I think that is an excellent description.  Since my reason for working with these formats is 
interoperability for and among everyone, I would not participate exclusively on such a list.  

It will be interesting to see what happens when folks who don't understand that come to the "wrong" 
place.  

Have fun!

The definition of the recommended content for this list would be for
users who are interested only in creating odf documents and
investigating/discussing behaviour of LO to produce odf documents. As
such, issues of compatibility with other formats, specifically m$,
would be excluded, for continued discussion in the main users list.

After reading the web page 'get involved' I have subscribed to the
mailing list 'web site', where I shall continue this discussion; feel
free to read the archives and join if further interested.
