Please post the survey in a format that everyone can open, instead of the proprietary M$-Word format. I can help you with the HTML, if you want, should you decide to convert it to a HTML page.

Bite me.
1) That doesn't change the fact that the survey is in a proprietary format.
2) OpenOffice is a bloated program that I refuse to install on my personal PC.

In what way am I being an annoying douche? I politely asked for an open version. Nothing more, nothing less.
If this is just because I use a dollar sign instead of a normal S, well, there are more important things to get upset about. I will choose how I write my messages.
Thank you haze and dhex for your understanding.
Sent.

You still fail to explain why you think I was being a douche in the first place. Stop making excuses. A closed format is a closed format, and I asked for an open format, which was provided.
By the way, unlike what you people seem to assume, I don't use GNU/Linux.

*sigh* You people seem to like labelling people as douchebags as soon as they twitch even one nerve of yours.

Rather than take simple steps to convert or open the document on my own and perhaps provide the converted file for others who may share my disdain for the format, I shall ask for someone else to do it for me while taking a stab at The Borg by using a dollar sign instead of an S! Boy, that'll show Bill Gates!" |
In other words, you're calling me a douchebag because of your own interpretation of what I said? Now that's being a douchebag.
I asked the author of the survey to convert it because:
-If I would convert it myself it would discredit my own "it's not open" point
-It would be a third-party version instead of a first-party one
It also sounds like you think the Microsoft hate is unjustified and that a closed format is no big deal. It's not.

Beginning of page 13: "approach to writing about games as the a unique and attractive quality".
It's a good read. I've read most of it, will read the rest tomorrow.

Beginning of page 22: "This permeates the existence of the board and how far in can develop socially".
Read the last couple of pages later than I thought. Good read. :)
