It hasn't been said explicitly yet, but there's lots of hints that the company frowns upon employees posting to either rumors site forums, or competing device forums ... even if they're not actually revealing anything (and I don't want their NDA enforcement team(s) knocking on my door, even if I am not the leak of such a thing).

So ... I don't think I can "de-activate" my account here (I can probably delete it, I think, but my preference would be de-activation) ... so I'm probably just going to unsubscribe from the RSS feed, and unsubscribe from any threads. If people want to email me, that's cool. But I don't know how often I'll check things like the private messages on here.

It's been a great experience. Of any of the techy/gadgety forums I've been on, this one has, by far, the best environment I've dealt with. Combination of very informed main subscriber base, mostly mature contributors (whether informed techies or not), and even when I've butted heads with people, I think I still came away from the conversation with more than I had going in. I hope some people feel that same way about me.

I wish all of you well, and I hope the Maemo/Meego platform brings each of you what you're hoping for.
bye bye, wont be missed, you suck... oh wait. you're leaving but not slamming the N900 and Nokia at the same time? I don't get it, how am I supposed to rant at you?

Seriously though, good luck on your new job and maybe our paths will cross again in the future.
