Please - if you can, make your decision based on the substance, not on the
style. OSM will be here long after Steve and you and I have gone on to do
something else. I'd be the first to say that communication by OSMF and its
board can really suck (and have told them so), but I wouldn't let that cloud
my view of other matters - especially not one this important.

Unlike Linux, no single person is pivotal to the continuing success of OSM.
If Steve is run over by a bus tomorrow, the project continues much the
same[1]. Same if any of the board is. Same if I am. OSM is much, much bigger
than one person. Although I'd admit we might struggle if the bus got TomH.

cheers
Richard
