The tone of thiese Lists

users

Is it just me or is the tone of the messages on these lists turned
extremely hostile as of late?

Hi :slight_smile:
We have phases. This is a fairly bad phase but we have had worse and got through. Typically we arrive the other side of these bad times better friends than we were previously and with more understanding of how other people think. It's all part of being in a community. Someone has an excellent signature saying something like "Friends argue. Non-friends just don't care enough".

Well I was wondering. I joined these lists hoping for 'pearls of
wisdom'. If I want bickering, name calling, or insults I could just call
my ex-wife.

Hi :slight_smile:
Lol. Here we get both. I have gleaned a lot of pearls from Regina, Cor, NoOp, e-letter and others on this list and people on some of the other lists.

Hi,I hope it's OK to jump in with a question, because I'm one of the newbies that you may be talking about.
I sent an email off to (user+help) on 11/23 about a problem with the display of hidden characters (The Pilcrow) that I am having on two systems.
Since sending the email I have been receiving a boat load of libreoffice-users emails that I am finding very informative but nothing about my Pilcrow.
Questions:
Did I send it to the right place?Do I even know if it was received?Is there an input queue that it goes into and I'll see something when it's looked at?And lastly, does anyone on this list know how to get my Pilcrows back.
Sorry for jumping in but thanks in advance.
Bob

Tom,
Thanks for the quick response. My question was sent directly to (user+help) but right after signing up. Maybe I should have waited for the dust to settle before launching the question. I'll resend the email.Thanks again.And I truly am enjoying the boat load of emails. |:>)

users+help is not a list, it is used to send you instructions about how to unsubscribe, and I think the incoming messages are never read by people.

Bob,

I made the same mistake when I first signed up. I was sending questions to "users+help". The syntax makes that sound reasonable. After the 3rd try of getting the same boilerplate "help" message back I found the correct: "users@global.libreoffice.org". That's what puts you in business!

Good luck,
David S. Crampton

If I understand the procedure correctly I just post the question to (libreoffice-users)?
Thanks

Is this in reference to 'pearls of wisdom' or the bickering ? :wink:

That's correct. Just post to libreoffice-users
(users@global.libreoffice.org), as you are doing right now.
