Re: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?

I was simply concerned to grab an opportunity to educate. One sees these 
sorts of pseudo-surveys all the time, and people think they actually 
mean something - which is to say that we can infer something from them. 
That is completely fallacious.

I'm a relentless educator. That's my problem. There's no fix for it. 
Maybe if I stopped breathing....but I'm not yet ready to try that!
