one of the best things about n900 is the community around it, the help, support, ingenuinity and teamwork, people really feel part of this community, and if they wish to say farewell then this only proves the point. i freakin loved my n95 but i never felt the urge to tell the world as a whole when i moved on, i may yet do when i leave n900. so for all the people sick of seeing goodbye posts - dont bloody read them! really, who forced you to click the thread, scroll, read and reply? dont tell me the thread title took you by suprise! i can see the cathartic value in the OP's post, where's the merit in yours?
