I'm going to backtrack a bit and start again, because I've been having a pretty off day I'm being grumpy and petty, so let's start this again.

Matthewcc you are absolutely correct and I'm glad you responded.

This is what got me agitated:

I'd like to understand what makes you think Nokia wouldn't want fan-based marketing. If you were on my marketing or PR team I would fire you based on that belief alone. Also if you capitalize 'you' in a comment to someone they are likely to take it personally.

The single most bothersome thing about this forum is something I've seen mainly on linux and development forums, which is a pervading secret (and sometimes not so secret) desire for The Product in question to not be a roaring success, because of the belief being one of the few people with The Product makes them special and unique. This is usually hung under a banner of "no selling out", but fortunately that doesn't apply here.

This way of thinking is fine if it's personally, but not when it involves trying to shoot down ideas that would bring larger success to the organisation or company that owns The Product.

So knock that **** off.





ok i'm done.
