After reading talk for months I have learned all these discussions are a waste of time. very few of the people filling the mailbox do any work to change it. any thread with more than 20 mails is going nowhere read the mail from Andy earlier today again and this is the correct attitude. He decided to do something about it. If it's good I can't tell because I didn't check. But better than just complaining and starting the same discussion 3 month later again.... and again .... read the archives if you don't believe it. > I'm finding this thread a good learning experience about OSM & it's > mappers.

If you know a solution go ahead and change it. we can all learn from osm, wikipedia and other projects. they have different dynamics and if users can't accept the freedom they don't need to use it. > The expression "take responsibility for your own actions" doesn't > appear > to carry much weight around here. don't think so. the ones doing the hard work in the background rarely contribute to these childish discussions because they DO something useful instead wasting their time. > > Cheers > Dave F. > > > Cheers > Dave F. > > > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
