I can only speak for myself, but I'm happy that TIGER was imported. I grumble about its quality problems and quirks all the time, usually while I'm fixing them, but I think the US is much better off with that import than it would have been without it. I've only been here for a couple of years, so maybe I haven't been around long enough to regret it, but I probably wouldn't have gotten started with OSM if the TIGER-imported framework hadn't already made it reasonably useful to start with. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- The universe is complex, but it's usefully complex. -- Larry Wall ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
