My dear Pradeep,<br><br>Please accept my apolodies. My intention was just to bring to your notice that many of us who you may consider Wikipedians and not FOSS are also FOSS guys. This is just a small issue which I did not want to snowball. Please dont quit from the list. Your hard work speaks for you. My apologies if I have hurt you unintendedly.<br>

hi,<br>
<br>
Since I am creating noise on the list, I apologise and resign from the<br>
list. Hope the signal levels go back up.<br>
If there is no article on OSM, please WP:BEBOLD and create one.<br>
Wikipedian vocabulary is not limited by the content of Wikimedia<br>
projects but rather by day to day usage.<br>
<br>
Again, apologies. I am sorry to see this mailing list also getting as<br>
divided as things are in the OSM.<br>
