yes, it gets complicated in we are both in the usa and the standards appear to be coming from europe and Canada, by the way the wiki’s are written, but you would think he would let me do my adds, where he has not been instead of following me around and re editing me. since i am not on his transportation map.

What do you use your OSM username for? Is there any reason not to create an anonymous username like anon65498? I mean, sure your mailadres suggests your name is Philippe Latulippe and I can find some people with that name on the internet, but how do I know that is your real name and not an alias?
