Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [tdf-announce] LibreOffice Conference 2014: the program of a landmark event

Just a lone voice, but as Tom pointed out, I am only on this list, and
not on either the discuss or announce lists.

Now, I don't really have much interest in the Conference, so Tom
posting that here doesn't affect me much, but equally I certainly don't
mind him posting that here.

I'm a user, on the users list, and some of the discussions on this list
that are considered "off-topic" do interest me, and I feel should be
brought out into the open, even if they're not purely about helping
other users with problems.

Any users that post to the list with questions get answers fairly
regularly and fairly promptly, so I don't see that this list is in any
way failing in its purpose. And I don't see that some extra cross-talk
on the list can be in any way detrimental. To the contrary, better that
than than an empty, silent ghost-list, like some I've seen. You can
almost hear the tumbleweed blowing about in those lists. I think the
community here is helpful, friendly and lively, and one of the best
mailing lists I've ever been on, so I for one consider it unnecessary
to stay focused purely on support issues.

Just my thoughts.
