That too seems an ungenerous characterisation, and the GP could not have deduced that from the OP. I'm glad the author is constructively incorporating criticism and working to turn this into a useful tool that OSM users will benefit from, because they wouldn't have been the first to get overly defensive after their work was interpreted in the worst light possible.
