The way that this question is phrased suggests that the user is either 
simply trolling, or struggles with the concept of "discussion" and 
treats this list as essentially write-only.  This wouldn't be unique in 
OSM; we've had people treat diaries and the wiki in a similar way before.

Until the author shows that they're willing to engage with other people 
(replying to other people's posts, answering questions, explaining how 
they've contributed to OSM) it's unlikely that anything of value will 
come from these posts.  The talk-au list is one of the sanest OSM lists 
around; relatively speaking it has fewer people grandstanding and more 
people collaborating to get things done than almost any other OSM forum 
that I'm subscribed to.

Best Regards,

Andy
