Incase you havent learnt, the moderation is there to stop anyone else drowning out SteveC on the list. In one foul swoop, Richard has destroyed my interest in OSM.. 5 years of mapping contributions, code contributions, discussion contributions, and we get treated like this. I have deleted all my accounts, all my subscriptions, and am in the process of deleting 12 months of GPX traces and OSM files that Ive built up from my round-australia travels, mostly on highways which have never been mapped, and wont be mapped unless someone else takes the week-long roadtrip. Some non aussies came onto the aussie list and stirred up a few big arguments, so you ban the aussies, rather than the international pests. What you should have done, was blocked everyone non-aussie from the list, or at least bothered to look at the history (or ask ANYONE) who uses the list. Then, when a few people criticized him for his decision, he disappears. Seriously Richard, I hope you burn in hell for the destruction youve caused and continue to cause to the OSM project.
