However ... I hope we can also agree that it is counter productive to start
off such discussions in such an argumentative pose. I hear a lot of
distrust in phrases like "misrepresentation", "claiming ownership", "exactly
what HOT doesn't do". It's emotionally draining for me to read things like
this, and I don't think I'm alone. There is always more we can learn from
each other, about what to do and how to do it. We are all here in
OpenStreetMap because we love the map. Can we please use that as a starting
point in our interactions, and focus on helping each other to make the map
together?


Yes, thanks for bringing this up Mikel. Combative questions and the
assumption that the other party is trying to attack OSM makes threads like
this extremely difficult to participate in. People interested in having a
conversation about OSM avoid the mailing lists because of threads like this
and it hurts our community.
