You're right: posting here is better.

All silliness aside, that thread is closer to the heart of maemo than this one is. You want action? Direct it as close to the source as you can. The farther out you are, the more like noise the words appear. That's not meant as a personal slam, either.

And you're right: I'm not directly involved with maemo; I was briefly the factory quality engineer responsible for the N800's successful launch. But I had become a fan when the 770 came out, and helped the previous engineer with it then was assigned to take over when he moved on. I am still a fan and love my N810, quirks and all. But I am definitely critical of screwups... just gotta be careful how I render that.
