Re: [libreoffice-users] conditional formatting broken?

Alex,

Thanks for that wonderfully detailed and explicit response. I hope it is 
useful for others, in the future, who may find it through a search of 
the forum.

Unfortunately, to my original request for help, Brian Barker responded, 
but to ME ONLY. I didn't notice this, and responded to him, also 
backchannel, at which point the matter was resolved, as I reported that 
my problem had just vanished. I could not easily account for this, but 
my first speculation was that it was "pilot error".

Now, here's my point: responses to requests for help which are made 
backchannel are necessarily out of the public eye, which in this case 
led to Alex's very nice response, days later, to a problem which no 
longer existed.

So...may I strongly suggest that we keep discussion IN THE COMMUNITY so 
that all may benefit?

Just makes sense, to me. We come here for group discussion. Why defeat 
that purpose?

Tom
