Actually the OP clearly stated he didn't want help. Just venting.

I'm just being practical. If we see something appears that may need to be collected and put away together, then make a collector for it. If you think there's a better place for it that they should go to (forum.nokia) then by all means plaster signposts to forum.nokia away so they're channeled to the right place.

And I disagree with the latter, especially since it's only natural for people to defend the status quo. In this case, of course, that's Maemo devices. That seems to be forgotten sometimes...
Yes, but they can do it more intelligently and more courteously. They don't have to be an *** about it.

I'm no psychologist, but I'd call that a classic cry for help

We let off steam to those we know will sympathise and agree with us. Whilst the OP may have recognised a ready audience for a public rant, the tone of his post suggests otherwise:

He uses words like 'proud' and 'sexy' in relation to his N900 and states that he is only thinking of getting rid of it.

Perhaps his mind is now more made up by our negative responses...

In that case, since we've wavered quite a bit from the original "topic," and things got a bit ugly...

This thread is now closed.
