To all who this matters in this forum:
Needless to say that all in all this whole chain of events has been very sad. All the efforts Gerrit has done to make the map, in his views, better and completer. All the efforts of other forum members to help him, correct him and try to get him on track.
All the frustration but as well the immense patience many showed towards Gerrit and the hope on a good ending.
This is not the good ending I had hoped for, of course; it would have been much more satisfying if all involved would be satisfied and Gerrit would have taken the advices given.
I thank the DWG, especially Andrew for his involvement and finally Gerrit for his undoubtedly difficult decision to end his activities.
To us: let’s go cautiously through Gerrit’s edits and repair where necessary and keep his valuable additions.
