I'm not generally opposing this, but please don't make referrals to totalitarism like this page does IMHO partly intended, partly unaware (communist star (I know that this is an unexclusive meaning, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_California but it IMHO still is the general interpretation), little red book, and the worst (probably unintended: {{SA-journeyman}} , {{SA-apprentice}}, etc. which in German law would be ~"using forbidden signs and symbols") cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
