That's being wholly unfair to those that have spent many hours burning the
midnight oil toiling over lines of XML to bring us what we have for nothing
more than the gratification of seeing an Icon where they earlier in the day
mapped a post box. Because after all, that's what OSM is all about. It may
be sad to see some things don't get fixed and I can assure you I have plenty
on my list, but I can certainly never say to anyone contributing their
effort to OSM that nobody cares, on the contrary we care one hell of a lot,
otherwise we simply wouldn't be here.

Cheers

Andy
