So we would like a little code change and remove the 'map' link at the top, with some text info to sharedmap.org and bigtincan It will reduce some confusion.

Hi, That would be Steve Coast as the Troll of the day.

I assume it's one of us given our message volume over the past couple of days. Name names! Quit being so passive-aggressive, poor communication like that is what causes these kinds of problems in the first place.

Here's my bit, and I encourage others to discuss their intentions: My contributions have never been all that significant, so it doesn't really matter, but I'm not looking forward to seeing my past efforts disappear and I'm undecided if I'm going to continue in the future.

[talk-au] What A Day
The quiet and languid mailing list of normally laid back Australians exploded into vitriolic exchanges after a non-Australian hijacked a thread on the list. A number of listees found themselves offended by rash statements and then attempts were made to claim that white was black and black was white. I understand that this mail will not be read by the offending poster*, as I would happily say that I am a friend of John Smith. I don't always agree with him, but certainly we can discuss our differences without the need for alcohol to keep the peace. I am quite disturbed by the failure of the offending poster to even follow the thread of his own argument. Sadly, I have to deal with people like this every day, as I do see a large number of elderly and dementing people in my job. My biggest concern is quite different. What provoked this virtual visit to the list? Why are rabble rousing Australians such a threat to a world wide project? I thought that it came from our ability to think for ourselves and make our own decisions, but the accusation was made that we were drawn to our ways by the influence of a single Pom. I have no recall of the offending poster appearing on the list before, but do not claim to have searched the archives to support this hypothesis. So what has caused this earthquake and corresponding tsunami? * ie, the one who caused offence ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
