It looks like a very active forum, with many users and volunteers
answering questions.

And strangely I see Terry has an account there, with 554 posts:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/profile.phtml?mode=3Dviewprofile&u=3D30585

Hagar has 5,171 posts there:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/profile.phtml?mode=3Dviewprofile&u=3D24243

And even you have 3,512 posts there:

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/profile.phtml?mode=3Dviewprofile&u=3D3905

It couldn't have been all that bad if you spent so much time
volunteering on those boards.
