Re: [Bug-gnupedia]Submissions in Word Format

[Tom Chance]

Why bother stopping them, or forcing them to save as
something different? Ok it isn't hard to go to Save As
and save something as pure text, or as RTF, but even
making somebody go to that may put them off, and
there's no need for that. I can see no reason to stop
Word files whatsoever. Only when M$ try to sue us for
parsing and converting their files, or whatever else,
which is v.v.v. unlikely, do we worry about allowing
M$ Word files.
