Yep, you're right about what I was thinking. I come from the "learn by doing" school of OSM thought*. I see lots of theoretical discussions about tagging things where people get caught out by new ideas (the "Oh!, we hadn't thought of that" problem). Whereas if you come to the table and say "we've been doing such and such for three months and learned the following" then that's far more interesting to me. But I'll say again for those who might have missed it - I have no problem with people continuing to have theoretical discussions, voting, and all the other stuff that they want to do. Each to his own. Cheers, Andy * Interestingly, I come from a very theoretical-learning background, and maybe that's why I find the OSM stuff fun. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
