I also gave it the maximum number of votes allowed,Īs this nonsense of the ruler not snapping makes me hate OOo. Unless I have feel an overwhelming urge to do so. I hate registering for websites I won't visit very often. You also can see that the number of votes is not the onlyĬriterion for what we do next (I explained that some time ago in our GullFOSS blog).
