Do you actually know Jerry? He is one of the most polite and least rude people 
I have ever met.

I am afraid that once again, it is your response here, rather than anyone 
else's, which, if anything, is rude. I cannot see anywhere on this thread where 
Jerry is being rude to you. This is at least the third time in six months that 
you have harshly criticised people or projects on the mailing lists. Do you not 
actually understand that this might offend people? If you don't like a project, 
or aspects of a person's personality, then fine - slag it/them off down the pub 
to your friends - but please, not on a public mailing list. Do you actually not 
understand that randomly slagging things off on public mailing lists is rude?

Sorry if this response sounds strident but I think it has to be said.

It's disappointing that many people within OSM like sk53 are too weak to 
take criticism or so arrogant as to believe they are above it (There was 
one user who's arrogance led him to believe he was entitled to tell 
users to close down their twitter accounts!). My criticisms were 
explained, justified & on topic (to his post), not ad-hominem.
