[OSM-talk] Railways yet again (was "THIS is the kind of enthusiasm some would reject")

[Andy Townsend]

May I respectfully suggest that before anyone sends yet another reply to 
this thread that they ask "Has this point of view been put forward 
already?".  Everyone is well aware that there is disagreement (and 
sometimes even disagreement over what to disagree over), but people are 
rarely won over from one point of view to another by simply repeating 
the same arguments over and over again.

If there's something new to add I, as an OSM list-reading punter*, would 
be glad to read it (perhaps on the tagging list if that's what it's 
about) but frankly it's all getting a bit repetitive.

Cheers,

Andy

different sides of the same argument ad nauseam.
