FOSMs not going anywhere for some simple reasons.
The people running it are ineffective, the data will be
incompatible when OSM switches, fosm doesn't have any of the
agreements to derive data from aerial imagery. I could go on, but
those are the big ticket items.
Everyone should be aware of the theater show that 80n is running
merely to disrupt the community, and it's very sad that so far
he's been successful.
You seem worried, Steve.
You've been very successful at perverting certain sections of the
community, Australia being a good example as the checks and balances of
normal community communication are harder because of the timezone
differences and costs of flying. Essentially, people in Australia don't
get to hear from the rest of us on the phone or in the pub and we let
you spam the lists for a long time. So to an outsider it can look like
you're this rational guy who used to be on the board and so on. I've
heard about the various conspiracy theories you've been peddling
personally off-list too.
It's hard to fix that, however I am resourceful.
The first step is to meet your clownmails message-for-message so you
don't automatically have the loudest voice. By pointing out the simple
facts and having you talk past them and get to the real issues (you want
to rile people like me up, make us fret and worry) it is now clear to a
rational observer what the intentions are.
I think your nightmare scenario is that I fly to Australia and sit in
the pub and discuss the real reasons you're so upset.
Steve
