Ok, makes sense then, otherwise it would be a waste of resources...

Yes, I know, I wasn't complaining, but we've been using OOo for a long
time in our office (50+ users), and nothing like that has ever happened
with vanilla OOo builds. Yes, we had the occasional issue, but nothing
major, so it did make me less inclined to risk using any alternate builds...

Anyway, thanks again... maybe I'll try Go-oo again with a subset of users :)
