That's what bugs me about supposedly having to join maemo.org.

I'm a Linux fan, and I bought my N800 because it was Linux and because it could do a lot of cool things. I had never heard of Maemo.

To me, Maemo is a cool organization perhaps, though it tends to arrogance, as does Nokia. There are lots of good organizations in the world, but I don't join all of them.

And I'm not interested in joining Maemo. Or in voting. I'm also not interested in joining the Young Republicans. I'm not young and I'm not a Republican. The idea of joining either just doesn't appeal to me.
