So I took your challenge Kathy. Please understand I'm not trying to be negative.. but these are my findings. (you'll find I have all the time in the world for this kind of thing.)

While look at just the first page of OpenBox's "posts" search.. I saw:

10 useful, well put posts.
15 negative, or baiting posts that were responses to his own baited threads. (in his defense here: this includes responses to other people being negative to him.)

While looking at his *started* thread list (again, first page) I find:
16 threads that were OK. About half (most) of these were complaints, but I don't fault someone for having complaints.
5 threads that were the threads I discussed above.
2 threads that had titles I weren't sure where to classify:
"The spacebar on the N900 sucked - initially" -- not the most approachable wording..
"I love the kickstand, I hate the kickstand" -- Again..

So.. I stand corrected that he *has* made some decent threads I didn't notice were started by him. I think this has to do with, when I see a good thread I don't particularly pay a ton of attention to who the OP is.. but when I see a negative one it's like you look straight at the name.

OTOH: I still find the majority of his most recent POSTS to be in a negative connotation. (arguably, I think most of those were responses to his own negative threads, which spawned negative reactions to him, however.)

Hate to single you out OpenBox.. you just get to be the center of attention in your own thread .
