Quite the opposite unless I misundertand what you are saying Scribus and
OO.o are getting along pretty well. Better than other well-known DTP apps...
Scribus can import OO.o files, as well as it can import stylesheets included
with OO.o writer files. Ask around whether other apps can do that...

Plus, we have had great discussions at LGM 2007 on Scribus *and* Open
Document Format. Maybe yoy are looking at this a bit abruptly. Please give
it a bit of time. Of course you can disconnect when you want to.

I am not interested any longer and I don't want the deluge of complaint mail

I am not aware of what you are talking about here. Sorry.
