But if the person is being honest, instead of trolling, good argumenting and bringing facts may still make him understand and alter his thinking. It's the difeference of trolling and pure stupidity. But in this case, whether it was trolling or stupidity (or both), bringing facts didn't change the results. But I believe this is why so many people tried.

I stand corrected

From casually browsing 9gag i had the impression those memes centered around being overly or awkwardly thankful to some situation or persons action.
This internet is growing complicated...

We should have a "maemoneans react to post 2010 world" kind of channel.

Ah, well, back "on topic", that could easily be the title for a feature length documentation movie about the Pro1

Bit late then, we've had the same shipment status since last week, the 29th. i.e. shipping to fulfillment centers. We now just have order allocations, which can run parallel to shipping.

Noooooooo! My N900 died today. Or actually didn't die, but at least wounded deadly. I was charging it in my car bench and accidentally put my hand over it when trying to have a brace from the bench. The phone sank to the bench which made a nice craking sound when the whole usb port snipped off.

I guess I'm going back to Sailfish while waiting the Pro1,

Yes I also got this email a day ago. And I am in the US.

Tired of drudging through these threads, twitter, and their own forums just to find the latest update...

reading all that you already know in another thread won't make it happen any faster

Consider me as being jealous of you having enjoyed your N900 ... for just short of ten years, not!?

Good that the Pro1s have started materializing.

Just imagine we were still that bit more in the unknown on that aspect.
Do recall Chen's final remark in Fxtec's recent video concerning the Pro1: "... hopefully you're satisfied with the quality ...". Chen being your fellow (ex-)N900-user ...

What OS were you hoping to run on the Pro1?

Too many people here have shown that they are unable to handle trolling, by continuously providing attention and feedback to the troll, which is primarily what drives a troll:

Replies to his postings
"Thanks!" votes

As I assume he is still around here (e.g. with his other TMO account) or other people with serious psychological distortions may show up,

conquering this thread with gossip again is still easily possible by the help of those "gossip multipliers".
nothing is structurally gained, as long as a couple of participants here cannot keep their fingers still (equivalent to "keep their mouths shut"), hence will happily act as a "gossip multiplier" at any time.

tl;dr: Trolling people do exist and hence will show up occasionally. The real bummer is, that a couple of those seemingly interested in a proper discussion were eagerly "feeding the troll" again and again, thus enabling, supporting and leveraging his efforts to suppress any other topic than the troll's own ones.

See the screenshot of the mail that I received from him.
I guess we know what kind of a person he is by now.

I feel so sad and sorry HtheB got abused in this way.

I guess this kind of soul can only be hidden behind Internet and I wish everyone of us not meeting those kind in our lives.

That letter made me wonder if the last two words below the letter are his own signature
