That's a good statement. I'm happy that you have finally come to 
understand what this project is about! I was beginning to think you 
might just be here for the fun of the argument, whatever argument it was.

Oh. Never mind the above.

Anyway, the number of people who have submitted "nearmap" changesets is 
121, the total number of people who haved edited in Australia is 2752; 
so while NearMap-affected data may be up to 10% of Australia, 
NearMap-using users only make up 4.3% of those who edit in Australia.

(NB: The 2752 is a quick count in the planet file and will also include 
the occasional world-wide bot etc.)

World-wide, we have ~ 130k users who have contributed data, so in terms 
of users, around 2% of them have edited in Australia, and NearMap-using 
users make up 0.095% - which is not far away from the 0.125% of data I 
counted in my last post.

Bye
Frederik
