I am not going to get into a bickering contest here.. I just know that I've seen a few quotes from you where you replied to someone praising the N900 with a rather.. facetious?.. method of questioning them since you already knew they could not do what it was you were bring to light.

A) I agree to a point. But not all N900 owners are like that, and there at least as many disgruntled and angry former/current N900 that are equally unhelpful as there are new N900 fanboys that are useless.

B) All I meant was that some of attitudes around (probably my own included.. as I've had some bad days here) - are helping to contribute to that fact.

I would only want someone to leave a particular part of a forum if they had nothing to contribute. By that I mean: Instead of just being upset over not officially getting MeeGo or Flash on the N900 - how about helping with ideas on how we can get MeeGo and Flash on the N900 unofficially. That was my point.

Instead of the attitude of "You can't, because Nokia hates you." I think we need to have the attitude of "Well, Nokia won't do it: How can we? Let's try this.."

I really didn't mean for you to take things so personally. While I do think what I said applies to you in a very limited way - it was more of a general analysis of the overall feel that I have been seeing on the bored. Not an overall analysis of your specific posts. My implication of your loaded questioning was merely to bring to light that you are not guilt-free of some of the negativity around here.. nor do I myself claim to be a saint (my name may be misleading, I know ).

What I wanted to do was to try to get us on the same page: Instead of saying "No", because Nokia won't do it... let's instead explore the possibility of "Yes", through an alternative route.

With your knowledge and experience you don't need an N900 to be able to come up with ideas on how to achieve something we are lacking. Maybe, through your own ideas and contributions, one of us will be able to take your input - and make that one final 10% that you so desperately are waiting to see to get the N900. That was my point.

I've told you before, I'll say it again - that I believe you are an asset gerbick. I just feel as if lately, you've let yourself feel so betrayed by Nokia that you aren't contributing as much as I know you could; and instead have gotten a more defeatist attitude. I just wanted to get back the gerbick that had ideas, recommendations, and a happy spirit to come back for a while.. instead of the let down friend I see today.

I'm sorry.. I won't continue to draw you out anymore. Feel free to stay, don't leave out of respect for me - I believe you misread some of the points I was trying to make.
