[Etzion Bar-Noy]

Hi.
I love those with the flare in their eyes, and their self-righteousness. The
majority of the crowd, in Israel especially, will not be able to read ODT.
Since PDF is good enough format, those who did not "bother" to read your
document were, well, so filled with their hatred that they forgot the goal -
reach maximum newbies, both on Linux and on Windows.

Since probably all of this mailing list members use OpenOffice, and since
this program has been known to open DOC format for the last, say, seven
years (with variable levels of accuracy), the DOC and PDF formats would be
fine for all your customers. The self-righteousness are probably not your
crowd.

However, try to avoid DOCX, as, although it is being opened by my own
OpenOffice (and I would bet most of the others), it is rather new, and not
well documented to begin with, so the DOC format, which would account just
the same for your purposes, will not miss the new Linux users making their
first move with Linux and OpenOffice.
