All I have to say at this point ...
currently ...
as in ..
"this exact Present...in this alternate or true 'verse...."

Contemplating and desiring and debating ...
are steps..
"Doing" ...
hell ...
even the ABILITY to "Do"..
what is needed..
AND to upkeep it...
inevitably (as always here)...
IS the issue..

For a very long time now...as in years...
Thread after thread here is either :
A) dealing with upkeep...
B) helping new folks...
C) pining for the fjords ..
D) debate as to what we should do...

Either we actually settle on a course of action and follow it..
and a course of action that is noob friendly ..to allow for increase in our numbers..
OR...
We diminish and disappear...

As far as myself goes...
I will continue to use my nxx0's
but real world functionality and daily driver capabilities of our devices are narrowing as time goes by...
and I will (as many will be...or already have decided..) end up having no choice but to simply join "Team Android"...
hate to say it...
but that is the blunt of it...

As far as this thread goes...
and so many others..
I state officially.. that I have decided to join what I call ...(and in no jest..) .."Camp Gerbick"
whose views I have come to completely "see" and empathize with...

So saying..
until we are actually able...
AS a community ...
to unchain our os('s) from the shackles of our devices...
(which again....bluntly...is what we must do...)
All I have to say is...

If wishes were fishes
the oceans would be full.
