Please read the part of the "Posting guidelines" as is appended to every 
post:

    TDF/LibreOffice Mailing List Netiquette
    http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette#Avoid_Advocacy

It states:

----
Avoid Advocacy

TDF and LibreOffice mailing lists are for constructive discussions 
about TDF as a project, and LibreOffice as a personal productivity 
software. TDF as a community was born out of a positive attitude with 
regards to the future of free software and free office suites, and 
therefore we expect the subject and the tone of discussions to be in line 
with this positive attitude.

TDF does not like negative attitudes in general, even when targeted to 
companies advocating proprietary software (e.g. about Microsoft being the 
root of all evil).
----

So while I hate to have to bring up rules, in this case I want to make 
clear to Roger and other subscribers e-letter is not representing the 
LibreOffice project.
