I'd quite happily reply "Already being discussed <here>" if it were possible to then close the thread! Which brings us back to moderators... I'd rather not have moderators per se, but the number of vanity threads created over the last few days has made my blood boil (not difficult as I'm already pretty p1ssed at Nokia/Maemo!)
