There is a difference in the level of language proficiency needed to use
the first sentence so you're asking a great deal of people using a
second language to use that level of proficiency.<br>
This might be appropriate for easing people into a new situation but I
think you also have to take into account that technical people and there
are many here usually are more direct , blunt if you like.<br>
<br>
How would you rephrase Fredrick's post by the way? I may have missed
your answer.<br>
<span style="font-style: italic;"><br>
</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Can you clarify who "your team"
in this context is? You were introduced
in Marjan's initial post as "OSMF Communication Working Group Member"
and were the only of four names without a TomTom affiliation. You are
posting this neither from an OSMF nor from a TomTom address but from a
gmail one.

</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br>
</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Is "your team" a corporate
TomTom endeavour? Is it the OSMF
Communications working group? Or...?

</span><span style="font-style: italic;">
</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br>
</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Unclear affiliations are a
problem, as I pointed out in this thread a
few days ago. Has everything I said been filed away under "pushback" and
ignored?<br>
<br>
</span>Many Thanks <br>
