Yes. Ignoring the forums is precisely what I've seriously considered in the past, due to really bad s/n ratio. I'm quite sure I'm not alone in considering (and doing) this, from what has been said the USB host mode people are one example of this.

(I've deliberately *not* left, because I think the more people that do that, the worse it is going to get. I also think that there are a lot of people remaining here that I can try help from time to time, so I stay, and do that instead.)

Discussing what this handset UX release is going to bring us as users or developers, useful. Joking about delays and whatnot and that things never come out on time might even be amusing.

10000x posts of "is it out yet" aren't really adding any value into the discussion.

There's a difference between mindless idiocy and on-topic discussion, with occasional banter thrown into it. Some people don't seem to grasp the subtle distinction between the two.
