Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Top posting

Hi :)
Thanks Jean-Louis :)  Your English is fine.  

Please don't leave on account of the bad attitude of a tiny number of people in this thread!  The 
other lists have never had any arguments like this and are very welcoming and helpful.  They are 
much better to learn from too.  Well, all the others that i am on are good and it sounds as though 
the others are roughly the same.  Too busy and having too much fun to argue.  

Just to get a bit more perspective, the people in this thread that seem to be trying to force 
people into bottom posting only average about 2posts/month with 2 of them (including the most 
vociferous one) only managing to squeeze out 2/week, ie only a tiny little bit more.  So, although 
they are quite loud in this thread they don't really amount to much of a dictatorship.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I fully agree with Tom and this list sounds more and more like a dictatorship-governed one: do it 
my way of f*ck off. I will probably f*ck off very soon, LO/OO seems more and more to be a lot less 
_Open_ than M$ stuff, and I hate they approach!

      ^^--la... but your French is not that much appaling, probably less than my English :-) [just 
to show that I'm also able to do inline posting, but I doubt that any body will ever read that!
