good day everybody,

I'm new here, just received my "42-day-mapper" waiver membership, and 
have not seen the beginning of this thread.

I'm surprised by the tone here, and let me add, I've seldom experienced 
this on the other channels I use.  I never subscribed to osm mailing 
lists because of the sheer volume coming in, for which my solution is to 
unsubscribe, quickly.  let's see if there's a different option here.

the other channels i use are Telegram, and the irc.oftc.net server.

a couple of times I was invited-summoned to other platforms, and that 
was the end of it.  one of them was slack.

if you want to be inclusive, you need to consider that not the whole 
world: - has access to broadband; - speaks English; - understands 
country related idioms; - knows how to say a clear-cut "no"; - says "no" 
to mean "no" (but you are absolutely supposed to understand that they 
said "NO"); - uses proprietary software; - has no problem using 
proprietary software.

anyhow.

where's the mailing list archives?
