And as myself and others have explained plenty OSM has a very distinct 
and unique nature as a project and a distinct culture that is very 
different in many aspects of that of open source software projects.  I 
have contributed to enough open source software projects to notice the 
difference.

Many mappers would very much dislike it if OSM was like a garden variety 
open source software project in its culture of communication and 
interaction.

Now i cannot make you recognize that but i can expect you to acknowledge 
that others see it this way.
