Funny story...
I apologize if this doesn't really belong here, but I really felt like you'd all get a kick out of this.
This happened to me yesterday.
I was filming a an event for a video I'm working on, and I saw someone who was playing with a Mogul behind me.
Figuring I know a thing or two about this device that might be helpful to him, I started a conversation with the stranger.
Turns out his device freezes several times a day and he's running the new Sprint ROM. I told him you can fix that by installing a custom firmware, or at the very least flash only the radio to 1.40, and he replied that "Oh, I've seen those online, but I'm scared to try them". I responded that its not really so complicated, I've done it myself.
He replied "I know, I was thinking about it because I found this great tutorial that goes into a lot of detail on one of these message boards".
Something struck a chord inside me, and I asked "Oh, you mean the one by Dishe?".
I'm not sure how to explain his reaction when I informed the stranger that he was talking to "Dishe" in person.
For the next 15 minutes, I felt like a celebrity. Here was someone who had been closely following everything I had written as if it were gospel, and had never expected to meet me. It was better than the time I wrote an article about how to force Pocket PC applications to run on a Smartphone device, and found myself quoted in other places (rumor has it that article raised some eyebrows at Microsoft).
Thank you guys for creating such a successful forum that I can be a part of. And thanks to everyone who did all the REAL research on Rom flashing... I just wrote it all down. You guys gave me a high last night.
