Re: [libreoffice-users] PowerPoint templates and choice of .pot vs .potx?

Hi :)
Blimey.  I guess the aim is to deter people from trying LO through sheer rudeness and unreasonable 
demands.  

A good Toyota car-dealer would easily have sold a Toyota car to the person asking about mercs or at 
least would have left a good enough impression that the person might seek out a Toyota in the 
future.  

Posts like e-letter's just convinces people to never try LO and to tell their friends about the 
awful service here.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Have you written to an m$ forum and asked them their experiences of
using odf templates in m$o?

This is total madness: who goes to a Toyota car shop and asks for
advice on the most appropriate Mercedes vans???

LO is not an m$ product!

A company that cannot afford to pay m$ licences is not going to be in
existence for long...
