You need to address the message to discuss-u...@openoffice.org
not put it in the subject. As for why your getting the messages you
signed up for them, and you have to unsubscribe yourself.
with the explicit wording you have used in your mail I doubt that you
are qualified to write about netiquette.
Besides that, this is not a matter of netiquette, it's a matter of how
the mailing list software works. The ML software of OOo works as it
works, and I know other project where it works in the same way. That
doesn't mean that it is perfect, but OTOH it's easy to understand and
you are told how it works in every mail you receive. Being able to read
is a clear advantage that you shouldn't abandon.
Nevertheless, in case you are unable to read or follow the advice in the
mail footer for whatever reason, usually kind people would help to
unsubscribe you in case you asked politely. In case you know what
"polite" means.
Maybe you don't understand what I have written above. So let me
translate it into your "language":
You showed a typical example of making a fool of yourself by choosing an
inadequate communication style: why make it simple if you can fuck it up?
I don't care who has registered in your name or with your account of how
that has been done, I have a very poor opinion of you and that's that.
Please apologize if my translation lacks the "elegance" of your own
wording, my knowledge of your "language" is somewhat limited.
Regards,
Mathias
For subscription you have to confirm that you want to subscribe, so it is impossible that someone else has subscribed you - unless you've given your mail password to someone else. But this would be - in my opinion - exceptionally stupid.
And yes, I know, that I didn't use a civil tone here as well, but only because you called me an asshole twice before, which I don't like.
EOT for me.
*PLONK*
lol Mathias. Very elegant :)
And I have literally written millions of words with OOo. I would be lost
without it and the OOo team.

I would have to second Tim's statement:
"I would be lost without it and the OOo team."
Although I have only written 2 novels with it (one in negotiation, one
sold months ago, still waiting to be published [so I'm told] "as soon
as the economy improves..." Oh for more "spare time"), together with
others at my office, we we have written around 2,000 technical
documents ranging from a few pages to over 2500. And by the way, some
of them are sufficiently complex that they invariably crash MS word.
We adopted the OASIS formats years ago (originally under StarOffice,
later OOo) when it was clear that they would be around for a long time
and were NOT a closed, intentionally obfuscated, proprietary set of
formats lacking any published specifications, a "standard" which seems
to change without warning at the whim of a single, intractable
corporation whose sole motive seems to be profit at the expense of the
integrity, preservation, and long-term use or reuse of information.
I'm not knocking profit as a motive -- quite the opposite. However,
try taking an MS Word 2.0 document and putting it on your windows 7
machine with the "latest and greatest" release of office on it. You
can't. Case closed.
(And finally, since when did proper "netiquette" include gratuitous
profanity?)

Why the fuck are you spaming a mailing list because you forgot you
subscribed to it in the first place and why the fuck do you think
someone gives a fuck about what you think about openoffice and why the
fuck do you insist on using the fuck word instead of just
unsubscribing from the list?.
Fuck off.

Could someone please unsuscribe this retard, or troll?
Thanks. :)

Why? That would be an undeserved benefit for him. Perhaps we should get
something from here
lay back and watch the show. :-)

+1,
Don't do that for him, if getting all these mails annoys him, I'm all for
annoying him some more. He's hilarious. :)

Nettiquette also demands, that you use a civil tone in your messages.
If you idiot cannot unsubscribe yourself, than so be it.
For subscription you have to confirm that you want to subscribe, so it is
impossible that someone else has subscribed you - unless you've given your
mail password to someone else. But this would be - in my opinion -
exceptionally stupid.
And yes, I know, that I didn't use a civil tone here as well, but only

Put Daddy's computer back before he comes home. Remember what he did to
your naughty parts the last time he caught you playing with his
computer? You don't want that to happen again, do you?
What a tragedy...
