Hang on, let me just don my disguise as an anonymous bully [http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Wynndale/diary/13669]. I really think the time has come when we should really thank people Grant, Richard et al for their valuable and intelligent contributions to the discussion. I'm gushing, I know. But let me continue with my unfettered admiration. These people are so smart that they just *know* those ignorant hicks in the antipodes are too stupid to know their own minds without pressure tactics like the odious odbl.de. Oh, I nearly forgot - I'm the bully. (And what is it Grant that you have now *twice* in 24-hours attempted to publicly distance yourself from the U.K.? As if that makes you any more credible than your already stellar reputation?) Anyway, these poor bullied individuals should be given all the support they desire; as their embarrassing performances are simply ensuring the cohesion and loyalty of all those they attack. Just a thought - if we are all anonymous then how do we band together? We'd never recognise one another. Haven't thought this one out properly. Now, how do I get out of this restrictive Dalek* costume? Anon. *The heirs of Terry Nation did not authorise this misuse of trademark. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
