But for EVERYTHING else, sending out a proprietary format is just plain rude and ineffective. I especially hate it when people link Office documents off a website.

No, not everyone has Office, and no we don't want to buy that crap software suite.
no not everyone has office, but if you are getting something via email or a website then you have all the access you need to download open office. then you can do anything you want with doc files.

if someone is expected to download pdf reader, why not have them get open office which is a much more useful tool?

not to mention in all the places i have worked, office was a standard product that was installed.
