Thanks for the heads up. Words are really powerful so its wise to weigh them carefully before disclosure.
I have no intentions of highlighting the errors of others just for the sake of it. Individual errors are not interesting, but they can give input to a healthy discussion. I have ideas for improving OSM and raise the quality. I can see that it helps to be friendly and diplomatic so I'll try being that. I will try moderate my criticism and sleep on it when I have something to suggest instead of posting right away. I'm really passionate sometimes and I guess it spills over into my emails. No harm intended. Have a nice day.
