I can definitely agree with that. I'm actually neither a mod nor admin - I'm just one of the psychotics around here that tend to like to help people just for the sake of helping people. I don't own an N900 but already know more about it's inner workings than some people who have had it since it came out.

I scan the "New Posts" all day and clean out as much as I can but I'm wayyy behind right now. Something like 400 threads.

But for me.. it's hard to help people in the middle of all the crap threads that get started.. it makes me get really picky about which ones I pay attention to and which I dont just by the title of the thread which is unfortunate - because someone people just make bad titles. Therefore they tend to go without help from some of us that try just because their title was too much like some other flame-fest going on.

However, back on your bold section: Because this is a Maemo forum, for the Maemo OS, I'm more forgiving of post after post of "N900 rules man!", even though I agree whole-heatedly it's useless, than I am of "N900 sucks a**!". The former, while useless, still has a positive environment and feel to it - the latter is simply negative, creates negative opinions in the readers, makes people defensive - and historically - causes flamewars. A lot more than the former, anyway.
