Peter, It's great you reached out to the user. The DWG is really the best place for such complaints/concerns at this point. The email for the DWG is d...@osmfoundation.org
I've forwarded your email to the DWG and you should receive a reply about it shortly from a DWG member (most likely myself). - Serge On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 12:33 PM, Peter Dobratz <pe...@dobratz.us> wrote: > 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".
