@Kamen: Of course, we should strife to be helpful in here and in no way I'm trying to deter anyone from posting questions, rather on the opposite. Helping each others out is what this is all about. However, like on any other place where people communicate with each other you need some kind of rules to avoid complete disorder in the forum.
talk.maemo.org does have such rules stated and it is getting very annoying that by each day it gets worse in here because people ignore them and the moderators cannot keep up with the noise.
In the rules section:

No Cross-posting
talk.maemo.org is divided into subforums by topic. Post into an existing thread on a subject (using the power search to find it), and when creating a new thread for a new subject, place it in the appropriate subforum. Posting the same comments more than once in a thread, or in more than one thread, is considered cross-posting, and is not appropriate. Please choose the single thread and forum in which your comments would be the most relevant, and post them in that thread only.


There are already a lot of threads explaining how to flash the N900 in all kinds of ways, I would be very surprised if this thread was created due to completely new issue, since no clues whatsoever were given to why the flashing procedure went wrong. In fact, there was no information given at all about what was done and how the device reacted.

And while we're looking at the rules, we might as well look at these two sections:

No Abuse, Insults or Personal Attacks
Abuse, insults and personal attacks directed at any member, person, or group are unacceptable. If you disagree with someone on some point, please do not resort to name calling or personal attacks; instead, argue the merits of their points. Please note that attacking people you perceive to be "trolls", "fanbois" or "flame baiters" still counts as a personal attack, and your posts will be removed as such.
Trolling example: "Just sell your N900 and get an iPhone 4!"
Flaming example: "Members with nothing to say should just shut up and leave this forum!"
Personal attack example: "You are an idiot."
If you have trouble refraining from taking "bait", consider making use of the built-in ignore list functionality.

No Foul Language
The use of foul language is considered to be unacceptable. Filters have been added to censor offensive words. Members must not bypass the filters or swear in a different language.


I never did attack this guy with any personal insults if you read my post carefully, although he did so with me numerous times in foul language.
I'm not a prude person or so, but I don't like being attacked in that way just for helping this forum stay clean from threads being created unnecessarily.
