@arne: well, my idea was to say "Hey we appreciate newcomers, but (especially) due to the recent surge of 'crazy threads' it'd be great if everyone can help out with forum organization and do a quick search before starting a new one". Even so, I gave a couple of pointers to threads about SSO and I hoped you could trace your way from them.

I also share the concern that a more unified experience from this site will be beneficial to all the members in general and in the long run to the community as a whole. Part of that is having SSO.

But maybe the point is kind of moot now, as things are being migrated to MeeGo.com.

Do remember that this is an open community and it's made up of a very diverse crowd. As far as I'm concerned, you're already part of the community once you've created an account here and partake a discussion in the forum. So... don't be a stranger!

@tex: thanks for the clarifications I just had to step away from the keyboard earlier today... Good Friday and all, y'know.
