I like discussion about technical differences.
I sometimes even lurk and like the differences between posters like e.g. danramos, 9000, ysss and so on.

But there is a difference between "openness" and a completely senseless discussion like
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=71216
where the OP obviously was just looking for attention.

Of course you have to research before you buy something.

In the same way you research before buying a car or other
technical stuff.

If you buy a VW Polo and then complain that it is to small,
that IS strange.

If you buy a VW Polo and then come to the forum complaining that all your friends use different cars then there is something strange in your other habits. ;-)

Of course it is a pity that in our case VW now thinks that cooperation with Trabbi ( http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant ) is best. ;-)
But as long as you have a community that thinks Trabbi is **** and VW cars are supported by community, the research was not in vain.

The best thing to do is report the posts/threads immediately.

We have been recently deleting posts and giving infractions to some members due to forum rule violations. FYI, the forum rules are here: http://talk.maemo.org/faq.php?faq=vb...q_tmorulestext

Thanks.

I agree keeping TMO "clean" is the best way for it to remain what it is actually: the main/unique source of valuable information to learn how to get the most of your N900 and get answers before even asking !

Personally, I find TMO rather clean and threads are properly assign to categories... so what ? just go on that way.

Many thanks to moderators for the job !

PS: "my" N900 is not obsolete because I am able to do much more with it than my friends/collegues do with their Androids

If I LOVE LOVE LOVE my N900, how will I keep loving it after Nokia abandons it? I will have to choose another phone, right?

The fact is that this community is BEYOND loyalty and always has been. It is for QUALITY no matter what company offers it. While Nokia goes chasing the will-o'-the wisp, we are still here, still supporting the idea of the Internet Tablet while Nokia has abandoned it. Post about Nokia and ask why it has abandoned us, not why we have abandoned Nokia.
Wooooosh.

I think you hit reply on the wrong post(maybe the wrong thread) because I have no idea what you're talking about.

As for the rest of it, I'm sorry...I don't have any personal attachments to any corporations, or the device(s) themselves. It's hard to have feelings for something that will never have feelings for you. I bought a device, they sold one. End of story.

Exactly! except I usually don't like reading danramos or ysss.

You even found the thread I was too lazy to reference.

If it violates the rules, sure you can report it. As for the 'bada rox' tag, I see that it's one member who keeps doing that. Maybe a fan lol.
