It's certainly possible that (for whatever reason) they just haven't
noticed the messages. It's happened to me - I've sometimes not
noticed the number at the top right of the osm.org website and if
they're not using JOSM (which this user isn't) they won't see the
more prominent "new message" display there.<br>
<br>
Also, if the messages were added as changeset discussion comments
then a user that doesn't regularly check emails (which some people
don't - perhaps they receive mail on a computer at home and are
editing OSM from a different one elsewhere) then it's possible that
they may not be read immediately. Something that's also happened to
me is that after a mail server problem at my end has been fixed
there's been a delay getting mails from OSM sent again.<br>
<br>
If all other avenues are exhausted and you really wants to get in
touch, as a last resort drop the Data Working Group
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:data@osmfoundation.org">data@osmfoundation.org</a>) a message and we can send a user a message
that has to be read before they can continue mapping (making it
clear that they're not being blocked for any sort of "bad editing",
but that we'd really like them to reply to messages that have been
sent, or reply to changeset discussions, or similar).<br>
