Re: [libreoffice-users] in response ...

       Thank you.

       Just one point which you - & others - seem to be unaware: if I had
merely accepted this 2-day old message then it could have been even longer
before the questioner received a reply.  Granted some of you may spend all
your time on the computer, but I'm in that group which turns off the
computer to attend to many off-line activities.  I feel that if someone has
a query, to which I might be able to help, then it's my duty to do so
without further delay.

       With deepest apologies if my duty-bound attitude offends some,

Hello Tom,

It seems that the problem Brian highlighted is a bit different and is a
recurring one. Anne-ology does not seem to understand her exact role as a
list moderator, even after years of being in that position. What she has to
do is first to approve the message so that it can reach the mailing list.
Then, she or anyone else here may answer the original poster in public on
the list.

It is only about the 25th time this happens, but Anne-ology does not seem
to want to take any sort of input, however cordial and friendly, into
account. You are however correct that Anne-ology did indeed aptly identify
the unmoderated post that had been sitting in the moderation queue for
several days, and for this she of course did the right thing and should be
thanked for that.

Best,

Charles.
