Can someone explain the memory leak problem to me

But in trade, I don't use HTC home (or HTC HOG as I call it)

I use InClose to make the x actually close apps, and I mapped the email button to vjOkbutt so I have an "ok" button that really closes apps too. HTC Task Manager seems to want more memory, and actually does not work as well (for me, at least...)

I can run multiple apps at the same time, and sometimes do (rss reader+pie+email not uncommon) but when I am done with an app, I close it. I did this with WM5, which was slower to load apps and had way more memory available, and it sure doesn't hurt with WM6 on the mogul. Frankly app load speeds are so much better, I would rather wait 1-2 seconds now and then, instead of having the thing get all wonky because it ran out of memory.

Or SPB Hog. Their apps look nice but they are so ridiculously massive (granted I'm now a bit of a minimalist thanks to Palm OS).

I'm sure everyone is aware, this constant battle of what programs that we can afford to install and run comfortably has more to do with the overall lack of available RAM as opposed to the memory leak as the OP stated.

Regardless, lots of productivity, time, and enjoyment are lost to the Titan's minimal RAM more so than memory leak. I have a B.S. in RAM management.
