[OSM-talk-be] How to request arbitration?

[Karel Adams]

Thanks Jo, that brought a smile!

The crux of the matter is of course that I can NOT fly into it, it being 
so private as to be almost secretive. In fact I am wondering more and 
more why these guys so vehemently refuse to give this airstrip a name, 
it really feels like something is being hushed up. Or then perhaps they 
wish to abide by the rules very strictly, kind of "Befehl ist Befehl" :) 
Not the kind of atmosphere I'll choose for a destination. And no, I'll 
not bother to further improve our database in that area.

That I figured in WeeklyOSM is nice but perhaps my next appearance could 
be more positive ;)

Smiling regards,

KA
