my guess is either disappointment from not getting to contribute to your own town's mapping, or some much more disturbing privacy implication
Thanks
please elaborate! (don't hold back)
I would but I don't know what it would be, if that's true? OP pls help
I was hoping you had a juicy conspiracy theory cooking up but it's okay, I don't think OP has one either
OSM IS MAPPING OUT THE TOWNS WHERE PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS PEOPLE LIVE SO THAT THE MEN IN BLACK CAN KIDNAP THEM MORE EASILY!!!
