Thanks, the eau de toilette is working, excellent!

Right, and I’m here thinking how absurd the development is going.  I
commented on it because I thought it was absurd.  I’ve been looking to
get into OSM development more, sorry I’m not there yet, but *your*
attitude just puts me right off.  I absolutely love the work you (and
Dave, and others?) have done on the cycle map, but if you can’t accept
criticism graciously I can’t help but think you value the project less
than your self esteem.

Not everyone’s as hardcore a developer as you.
