I've been active on irc, the forums, and in many other places where you 
have not searched. No reason to personally attack me.

Again, the piont here is not openoffice, the piont is that this is a 
problem that bugs me greatly, and others have this or other issues too.
I'd like to see them discussed on the wiki page.
Feel free to post problems and solutions there.

The entire point is to create a page that is a safe environment for 
people to say "this sucks, because" or "my mother oculdn't possibly work 
with it, because"
