David,

As a mostly silent observer of the foul stuff that goes on here, I have a
question for you.

Do you believe in OSM for what Richard thinks of you and your contributions
or do you just believe in OSM because it is open and good?

And to echo Steve Bennet's comment, I am at a loss to find anything bad
enough said by any Richard to justify this rant.

Shalabh
