The fact that you keep making new enemies might be something to stop
and think about. And for the record, I'm not really an enemy... I do
think you have done some good work. I initially wasn't sure about your
lane count edits but upon further review they seem to actually be
pretty good edits. And of coures all your work on US routes and
interstates have contributed greatly to the map.

But as an armchair mapper, there are limits to the kinds of things you
can do without ticking local mappers off. You overstep those limits
sometimes. I think I said this to you in a private message a little
while ago... I fully understand and even agree for the most part with
your desire to make some things more consistent across the nation. But
doing it without notice and discussion, as annoying as such
conversations can be, is not going to get you anywhere except
revertville.

That's kind of fair. Although in my defense I did wait about a hundred
times longer than you did in that case.
