And so on.  If the LO and OO people would stop feuding with each other 
and devote just a little time to
fixing the few remaining bugs in Lotus Symphony, they would have a 
professional office suite, not
something cobbled together like the tweedle-dum/tweedle-dee OO and LO.  
You OO and LO guys

open source.
