The reason I use these forums /is /because I /don't know/ what I'm 
talking about & so I ask questions to find the solutions!!

I find it ironic that I keep on being told it's OPENstreetmap, where 
anything goes with the use of free form tags etc & yet get flamed for 
upsetting the sensibilities of someone by posting a few messages!!
