Irrelevant. All of the OpenOffice.org lists were email. Some of us used Gmane to read them as a newsgroup. The stated OOo netiquette was to intersperse. Many other email lists are the same. It is irrelevant that some of us read this email list through Gmane. Proper netiquette is the same. Some people are too obstinate to post properly.I think that single paragraph explains why this thread has become so heated. YOU are reading this list on a NEWSGROUP. But the list is also available as a EMAIL LIST and an archive of that same EMAIL LIST on Nabble. I would hazard a guess that the vast majority are subscribed to the email list or view it on Nabble, and as such consider it as an email list and not a newsgroup.
