Re: [libreoffice-users] UNSUBSCRIBE

Hi :)
Hmm, oddly in Launchpad forums you can respond by email.  You get an email from the forum and the 
email contains exactly what was typed into the forum.  Then you can respond by email just by 
clicking "Reply to".  

Of course it does have problems of it's own but it's easier for first timers that are new to this 
non-telephone support.  It's more polite and doesn't spam people that only wanted to deal with 1 
thread.  You can easily add yourself to the list of people that receive those emails whenever 
anyone posts anything to the forum.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Except that you then have to log into  the forum to respond...

Forums suck for active discussion like this for people who are active in many different venues... 
they are great however for a Help' type of repository.

That said, there is no reason we couldn't have both... and one thing I'd like to see are official 
forums that are populated with answers to FAQs asked on the lists that people can be referred to if 
all they want is an answer to one specific question...
