I'm closing this note and re-opening another because it has become littered with crap that does not even pretend to try to resolve the issue.

In the future:

If you come across a note and do not have any information that contributes to the resolution of the issue it identifies, just don't say anything—you are not being compelled to respond.

PLEASE DO NOT USE NOTES FOR GENERAL DISCUSSION.

<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes>

Unless you have something that contributes to the *specific* issue that a note is concerned with, even if it involves a contributor who was previously involved (i.e. created or commented on a note), then *please* find some other channel for the discussion.

Fuck.
