(this is somewhat of a general statement, but...)

Regardless of attitudes, this is (and IMHO will continue to be) the single GREAT place for information and help in regards to Maemo and Maemo devices.

I just visited *a well-mentioned Maemo forum that is currently residing inside of an existing phone-tech forum, but will soon be made into it's own*, and I have to say that there is no way that it will ever replace (or come close to) replacing this one. There's no expertise there.

Maybe the price for great advice and information is dealing with a little rudeness.

It's fine by me.
