Oh for fuck's sake. Because I've got half a brain -- that's the point. If I didn't have half a brain then it would be because someone told me. And if neither was true then I wouldn't know, but it also wouldn't actually matter. And the namespace wouldn't help anyway unless I happened to know it was a namespace, and as I clearly didn't actually know what the object was in the first place this is just a meaningless string to me. > > > > Seriously, I've had enough of this. > > > > That's fine, but I'm afraid you haven't convinced me to change my position: > name spaces are a Good Thing, and I'm clearly not alone in this belief. a Good Thing, but you can't tell me why, and you ignore my reasons why not. This is the problem dude, you don't get why you're doing it. You have faith in the Great Goodness of Namespaces and refuse to question why. I was clearly right with the kitten analogy. I like to know why I'm doing something, and dislike being told "because". So far you've not actually come up with anything except statements of belief, and a few potential non-uses. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
