AFAICS, the "griping" was not about LO being a volunteer project, but about the
quality of the software. And as for the "griping" being "counter-productive",
it appears that the problem would never have been taken at all seriously
otherwise. But now, after over a year and a half there is at least a
workaround, even as other regressions have been as much as promised.
But I'll try to leave it alone now, as I have returned to OpenOffice so I don't
have to deal with the continual regressions and be accused of "griping" for
expecting a functional product.
Thanks.</pre>
