I neglected to address those who don't respond either way in my
earlier reply but I'd expect to treat their contributions with the
same care as the decliners.

80n have you presumed I had malice where I only failed to address a
sub-question?  Thanks.

I don't see where David suggested anything that would deserve your
ire, either.

Even if you disagree with what either David or I said, you would paint
the entire OSM project with your loss of respect and shame, rather
than engaging in the discussion?  I'm not sure I see what it is that
you are reacting to in such a visceral way.
