calc: 'MOD' in sheet vs. 'MOD' in macro - want to drive me crazy?

… you to those who think the demands of non-paying users should be ignored, I to those who think if you lure users with sayings like ‘the office suite you always wanted’, you create a demand that you should face up to,

you to those who think the users are the problem, I to those who think ‘fundamental mistakes unsolved for 12 years’ also contribute to it,

you to those who think too much ‘pretension’ is the problem, I to those who think too little potent developers are also a problem,

you to those who think ‘most of it is ok’, I to those who have talents to find faults where others think it is impossible that there are any,

you to those who are sensitive to criticism or consider it harmful and therefore ‘fight’ it, I to those who think that ‘glossing over’ is wrong, the problems have to be put on the table and worked off,

and so on …

… it would be important that we don’t spend too much time arguing, but see the progress of the project as our highest goal, tolerate each other even if we are different, work ‘on the thing’, accept that there is still a lot to do … and there I may also say ‘pff’ if something unruly has crossed my path again …

if we need to discuss further you can find my mail address at 'bugs

P.S. I am aware that these comments are ‘ot’ for the question, but it had to be said!

I am not a developer, so I can use the LO only on ‘As is’ base. I have adapted (from foreign sources) hundreds of macro functions and subroutines for our calculations and other needs, (and I wrote other hundreds after studying the API ) but i can not modify the source code of the LO.

Therefore I am trying to get the best performance from the existing versions. I never install the Fresh version for daily works (because I had read the warnings on the download page), We never use the MS file formats our own documents, and we store the documents (what must be send) in ODF file formats and only a copy will be converted and sent in some other file format.

All of editor softwares enforce its own file format. For example we are using CAD softwares, but not the well known AutoCAD. Our CAD softweres can export into AutoCAD file format, but it is better to use the native file formats - if we want re-edit them in the future - without compatibility problem.
An expert user must choose the apropriate tool to the job. People who exclusively must use the MS file formats (in some reason), must buy the MS Office. I can not imagine if in the future will be 100% compatibility between the different file formats. This is not in Microsoft’s interest.
