Either you haven't read the email I was referring to, or you're
deliberately ignoring its content or refusing to understand the local
conditions. Sorry, I can't help you with that.

We have administrative boundaries... they don't solve this particular
problem with addr:place, they _cannot_ solve it! This is another example
of you ignoring what was already explained. Furthermore, I would really
like to see that "a lot of people"... I regret to say, that I see a lot
of people that are ignoring our local conditions coming with
claims/suggestions that are often totally "off". We did discuss this
import thoroughly in local community and the tagging scheme is generally
settled. Of course, there are some points that not all of us agree on
unanimously, but that's kind of expectable given the complexity of the
system.

This discussion can be constructive, if and only if the participants
understand at least the basic terms that are used in CR subdivision and
address system. If you (or anyone else) is not clear on something, then
ask a specific question and I (we) will do our best to clarify the
matter. But I refuse to repeat over and over something that was already
explained and people only ignore it and go on with their rant.
