Hi, I noticed the following changeset which touches UPS Store objects across the whole contiguous United States:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/25081346 I have contacted user andrewpmk inquiring about communications prior to making this change and I have not received a response. After checking a few of the objects, it looks like this change removed "shop=copyshop" and added "amenity=post_office". I don't necessarily disagree with this change. In my mind I had been reserving post_office for entities controlled by the government-run United States Postal Service, but after reading the wiki I see that private companies can be also designated as post_office, and the UPS Store certainly fulfills many of the same functions as government-run post offices. I don't think that sweeping changes like this across large geographic areas should be made without communication of some kind. One option would be sending OSM Messages to all of the users whose work is being changed. Another option would be sending a message to this talk-us mailing list. Is there some other communication channel that I'm not aware of? Thanks, Peter
