I didn't know it said that. I'm sure that if you had said something it 
would have been corrected. I'll ask Agnes to change the wording.

I notice that Agnes translated the English page. That is a very minor 
error, and it's not worth your getting worked up like this. There, I 
removed them, problem solved. Later today, I'll ask Agnes for a 
different wording, or to leave it blank.

That's very touchy. If you don't like something you should suggest a 
change. And the best way to make sure you are happy with the change is 
to tell us exactly what you'd like. Fine, if you don't have time to 
write two lines, I'll do myself. When Agnes comes back on line later 
today we'll edi it. It's very simple really. All you have to do is ask.

Because Agnes is not subscribed to this list.

I don't know who Jane is. I never heard of her.

Yes, together. Just because I'm not working on *one* particular document 
it doesn't mean that what I'm doing is not important. Scott Carr is the 
documentation lead. You can ask him yourself about OOoAuthors. We work 
as a development site for the Documentation project and all our work is 
posted there.

> Do you think that I have the time to control all what you do and say ?

That is a straw-man argument. I did not ask you to control everything I 
said. You found *two lines* of text that you didn't like and I gave you 
the opportunity to give me an alternative you do like. If you can't do 
that, that's not a problem. I just removed the two lines. Done. Problem 
solved. And all it took was 30 seconds of my time. I still think that a 
simple email saying to remove or change those two lines would have been 
more productive.

I can't read minds, and I can barely read French. But when you point out 
a specific and fixable problem (e.g. those two lines of text) I will fix 
it with all speed. In this instance it took 30 seconds from the time I 
read the email to the time I removed the lines.

Cheers,
Daniel.
