It started out as an interesting story, until I got to the "outsiders". Outsiders?!?! You have GOT to be kidding me. Next are we going to have a manhood contest about who has the longer, um, OSM pedigree? OSM is bigger than one little club. Are you and Andy going to come and survey my neighborhood? No, because you aren't *here*. But I am *here*, and I've got some neighbors here, and collectively we want to import starting data and we are happy with working with it. Believe it or not, somehow we managed to figure out how to find the "delete" key on our keyboards. Here's a better analogy: you and your friends started a pottery club in your town, and now you want to tell me what I can do with the pottery club in my town. Yes, I have 100000 unfinished vases outside my back door that I got for free, but I'm not supposed to give them to any of my 300 million neighbors who don't know how to do pottery yet; they have to wait to have a vase until they make it themselves from scratch. That sounds a little unreasonable to me. - Alan _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
