People who revise my work really don’t know what they are doing. Waste of their time and mine.

Can you give examples?

Your contributions are welcome, however please use a better changeset message than just “Mapping Improvements”. It allows better understanding of why you did the changes present in the changeset for other mappers, as well as yourself in the future.

And communicate with these lesser mappers, my King (via changeset comments or private messages). This’d be better use of people’s time than ranting in a diary, and you might even find out that they do know what they are doing, it just wasn’t clear to you.

This is a collaborative project. Collaborating - i.e. building on each others’ work - is exactly what people are meant to be doing.

You should rename to “Map God” because you seem to be infallible. I havent met a lot of Gods like you - but thanks for reminding me.

Nah brothers and sisters, some people just don’t totally get the full story, and shouldn’t even bother to comment. I’m all calm, cool, and collected. It’s all good. Don’t really care too much about the other upper comments or any other comment that comes along. I do things my own way, because it works for me. Not much of “God” I do not believe in God, never will. I call myself the king of roads because I’ve been all over the world, and I’ve mapped more in a day than what most people can do in a month, that is a fact, and I do it with the best precision than any other person on the planet, fact. Not really gonna totally waste my time anymore with this, I got way amazing better things to move on to, so after 20 years of working with maps, I have decided to retire from OSM effective immediately. I feel I have accomplished all the goals that I needed to accomplish here. I’m pretty sure someone as great as me will come along and be down like James Brown putting some funk in deez maps and be the hardest working man in map bizz. It was O-S-M working in OSM. No other comments will be made, and no other comments and messages will be read.
