So a little more pragmaticism, guys, please, and less disingenuity over the default tenor.

Yes, I'm fine with that; that is to be expected from a forum like this.

What I take specific issue with are the defences thrown whenever someone ask about (Maemo on) N900's deficiencies:

- You didn't do your homework, you should research it first

- The N900 is not a phone/smartphone; it's an internet tablet with a cellular phone (???)

- N900 is just step 4 out of 5 (Is that even still relevant? How can someone from the outside know about such obscure remark made on maemo-developers-only gatherings?

All those remarks would work if the person who voiced the complain is an active reader of this forum; of which case he probably won't be asking those questions in the first place.
