Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Impress & PowerPoint

Hi :)

Insults are unnecessary and unhelpful.  Personal arguments and criticisms would be better off-list 
too.  Just my opinion, clearly a lot of people disagree, but i agree with Marcello.

There are at least two ways to express a good idea: by writing a polite 
and thoughtful response, as you did, or by mixing it with insults. I 
think the first form acheives the best results. That's all.
