I didn't make demands & was not expecting, as you appear to think. I'm fully entitled to ask pertinent, polite questions about any OSM project. I'm also entitled to make suggestions which I think might improve a project. If the maps creators don't think it's a good idea, then fair enough. Unless you're able to answer these questions then may I suggest you keep your ill conceived thoughts to yourself.
