I'm really sorry to offend you, but I looked for help and support from you and many others when I first caught wind of the minimal support of portriat in the N900. While you're a veteran, I never seemed to get any help from you or other old heads. This forum is not user-friendly, nor many of its members. I was directed by most of you guys, including you, to not just continue talking about it, but acting and doing something. I did take your advice, and it seems to be working quite well. I now have the support of the very talented mrojas, and I believe he will take the lead of this initiative going forward.

I commend thb for his work, but I wasn't aware of it, nor did you or anyone else mention it to the various new users looking for a solution. All we got was discouragement and ridicule. And now you want to make me into some bad guy for seeking the same ends as thb congruent and delayed of his efforts. I'll also say his solution is not the final end I was seeking, so I'll carry on as planned. I hope thb's work can be something I can build upon and improve. Isn't that the open source spirit?

I'm a voracious poster. I'm very involved in the mobile community, and I'm online 10+ hours a day, usually from my mobile, in probably 6 different forums along with this one. This is nothing new for me, so get used to me. I'm a user advocate, and I take on causes as I see fit on my own dime. I'm a known blogger and reviewer, but not a paid one.

The sites in my signature are my online homes, but I don't benefit financially from them. I'm not at liberty to discuss site revenue, but they are far from profitable, instead positioned as a resource funded by a close friend of the Nokia community. SF is a pillar of the Symbian community, and the home of the refined Symbian OS hacking measures. We intend to be the same for the Maemo community. Our site compliments this one, only with a more laid back family nature to our forums, and a younger base. I'm not the owner of either site, just a longtime contributor.

I see that the Maemo.org forums have a gap in communication, and we decided to start a forum at the request of our members dissatisfied with the level of support available here. Its great for developers, which teach me something new everyday, but horrible for new users. I will come here and engage these forums and take the information back to my community to share. I won't get rich, and it is back breaking work, but I do it because it is my nature to serve and assist. You should try it sometimes.
