[AccessD] SPAM-LOW: OpenOffice.org

I'm not sure I would go that far.  I have never seen them claim (or even imply) that OpenOffice will 
handle the vba behind Office.

And I am not sure they really need to handle VBA for that matter.  OpenOffice was designed to run on 
Linux where Office doesn't exist to begin with.  People apt to use OpenOffice are those who want the 
same kinds of office applications, and in some cases that can "file share" with Office.  It is my 
opinion that those running Linux understand perfectly well that programs running on Linux offer some 
degree of emulation at best.
