text: Hi Kelly, I can understand that it'd be frustrating getting so many responses in your inbox, but that's the way the system of OSM notes is set up. 
  
  I'd also suggest being more cautious about doing edits and adding notes, making sure they are beneficial before uploading them, as errors will receive more feedback. Did you ever check out that http://learnosm.org/en/ website I recommended? Or try using the default editor (iD) on https://www.openstreetmap.org ?
  
  Having done those things you will be likely to revive much less critical feedback.
