I'm pretty sure you've gone off into the weeds, Frederick.

Well, I've asked SteveC to lend his moral weight to this effort, and he's said (not a direct quote) "No way, when I do that, people call me evil." What's to stop the same people from calling the committee members evil? When you call your leaders "evil", you end up with only leaders who don't mind being called evil. Are those the kind of leaders you want? -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
