I don't open or write notes for some imaginary audience of mappers out there who don't live in the area and aren't going to resolve the notes anyway or will probably make mistakes if they do. 

"Notes are public, and there really isn't anything saying someone can't add the applicable info to the map."

Sure, that's why I've never told you or anyone else not to resolve notes around here. The only thing that I care about is that it's done properly, that doesn't mean no one can add the information to the map if they want to though, obviously. 

"how certain are you that this is still correct? Or any of these notes with the info TBH?" 

One of the reasons that I haven't resolved a lot of the older ones is that I plan to resurvey them at some point since I'm sure some of them are out dated. It really depends on what's being mapped though. Things like addresses don't really change over time. The same goes for the location of power poles or mail boxes. In cases where something might change I keep track of it and will resurvey something if there's a need to. I've also closed plenty of notes without ultimately adding anything to the map because it was clearly outdated and I just didn't feel like checking if the object was still there or not.  I guess I could do that with most of these, but it would be a hassle to survey some of it and I don't think most of the stuff has changed anyway. Hopefully that clarifies things. You can always private message me if you have any questions to. I'm always willing to discuss this stuff and clarify something if there's a need to.
