Not for nothing, but if anyone here has been impolite, it's been you. You called the OP irresponsible without reading the thread and/or doing any investigation to see that he has been quite responsible in warning people of the risks involved. You called other members here "dicks" and worse for disagreeing with you, or making light of the situation. You flooded the thread with a bunch of non-referenced replies, and replied rudely to people. Then when people reported you for being rude, you called on the moderators and started a separate thread about moderation. To me, and many others, all of those actions were far more impolite than anything others have said here.

I've found Titan to be quite responsive to questions and suggestions about kernels, and overclocking in general. He's integrated several other mods from other people into his kernel, and has improved the way several people use and monitor their N900. I don't suspect that will change any time soon.

Yes, I also think it would be great to look at implementing a system to better cool the CPU. I also delight in seeing the creation of responsive scripts (or even a kernel-based module?) that can monitor core temperatures and auto-reduce the clocking when temperatures hit settable limits. All great ideas. But when you come in spewing those ideas with combativeness, using words like "irresponsible", and calling people names, you're not going to get people to pay attention to anything you say, yet alone engage you in polite conversation.

I want you to do something: Take a second (or a day, or two), think of a project you've worked on, one that had a slight component risk involved maybe. Then go back and re-read your posts as if someone else has posted them about your project. I bet you get infuriated quickly. Communication is not the strong suite of then engineering class (I say this being one myself). Look at this as a learning experience for yourself, as you above state you hope others would.
