I'd agree if I hadn't been so discouraged and beaten down by senior members of this forum about this issue. The fact this thread was made "in response to mine" just shows how I've faced opposition to seeking a solution on adding ASR to Fremantle. I've shared ugly words with most of the posters in this thread and a few others. Let's just say I'm not very welcome in Maemo.org, and I'm not the only one feeling the hate. This ain't Symbian territory, and I've been made aware.

I want a feature added that won't affect anyone not interested in using it. But a large faction of the voices expressing opposition to my endeavours and disdain at my methods for drawing support are developers and experience Maemo users that seem to think I'm trying to ruin the perfectly good OS, saying it will make app development harder for them, and I should stick to Symbian, blah blah blah...

For all of Maemo's agility and ability, there is an impediment to progress that doesn't suit the old guard around here. People are rude, mean, discouraging, and generally not very willing to help or support new features that don't fit their usage case. There's a big Us vs. Them mentality I've never seen in any Nokia OS community.

Oh, Symbian, save me... I miss you. We hardly had this attitude in our communities ever. Maybe I will be forced to wait for Symbian^4...
