Generally they’re not offices but mailboxes in post offices that are the problem. They get tagged, but if you go there, all that’s there is a private post office.

With no physical presence mapping them becomes somewhat difficult. The one I mentioned earlier is one Discogs user tagging their home as a shop with a link to their user page on the site. Would you want every eBay seller to do similar? this is not at all comparable to an ebay-seller, because these weren't coords of their clients but (supposedly) of their office, hence this is like saying we don't want ebay's office because they are not a shop and you cannot go there to buy something. I do agree, if there is _nothing_ (not the seat of the company, no office) than it is spam, but if there is an office it doesn't matter if this is open to the public or how big it is, my requirement would be that it is tagged as what it is. The whole world of "office"-tags is about places which aren't shops. cheers, Martin
