Quick reply...

I am a dreamer, and a pragmatic at the same time. As a dreamer, I would rather sponsor a prototype I enjoy, than settle for the mediocre devices being currently on sale by large manufacturers. As a pragmatic, I would support tested-and-proven usability of N900, in reborn Neo900. Jolla sounds good, but it focuses on software, and does not advertise it hardware much, except for Other-Half - and it creates the question of achieving the same functionality with modded battery cover and hacker bus of Neo900.

About leadership and attitudes: I have seen people compared to whom Joerg looks like an angel.

Compare Holmes and Moriarty: Holmes can be insufferable, acerbic, and so on (take into account that sympathetic writer, such as Watson, omits the most negative parts of his character), yet Holmes gets work done, and helps people in the meantime. Moriarty is unpleasant, reticent, threatening, and often achieves his own ends by attacking others.

It can be argued that most people are not geniuses (unlike book characters); yet the meaning is still the same. Some people could argue that Holmes usurps power inside Scotland Yard, breaks rules, disrespects police officers... Yet, Holmes is here to help. And Joerg is here to help, too.

Most truly destructive people are not members of FOSS-oriented-community, I would guess. At least, it's my personal experience that the 'unpleasant person compared to whom Joerg seems an angel' is a Microsoft-supporter-to-bone, be it desktop or laptop or phone.

At the very least, on #neo900 there were pleasant in-depth discussions of why cellular modem and GPS chip have to be on the same chip (space, power; cellular location is way more accurate than GPS location), and no, there is no GPS-only chip which could be used instead of the cellular-and-GPS chip (this manufacturer makes no GPS-only chips; chips of other manufacturers would be too different and require too much R&D; there is already plenty of ways to disable cellular transmitter). I suppose I was one of the several people who bugged him extensively with patience-trying questions.

Best wishes.
