Eric, it's really neither accurate nor helpful to keep referring to this independent USGS project as a fork of OSM. You are simply starting afresh, from an empty database, but you are using the same tools that we do. That's not a fork, that's a separate project. A fork would be to pre-populate your own database with all of the OSM data, and make changes from that point. Calling your independent project a "fork" is misleading and will lead to a lot of confusion.
