Hey Dave :)

the communications part of the OSM community is a topic of debate among the users active on the forum (community.openstreetmap.org) or some of the more active chat groups. There it has been noted that users can go around for years without ever interacting with another user.

There acutally are some of us who try to monitor certain areas of The Map for changes and also try to interact with others. Since people are people it sometimes isn't easy finding the right words to convey the intended message which doesn't make interacting any easier.

You have popped up on quite some people's watchlists recently with the large bounding boxes which some people doing QA-work find a bit annoying. But that's it. It doesn't break anything it just makes it a bit harder to review your work.

I am sure that your work is very much appreciated and I for one wish save travels and happy mapping :)

cheers
