        I've been mousing around like mad, and I still find an odd thing
that I've always found before. OSM seems to be all about compiling data,
rather than making actual maps, let alone using them. Also, btw,  I still
see no trace of anything like topographic data.

        That's a fine thing to do, and those who do it have a right to
enthuse intensely; they're making discoveries and solving problems.

        However, what I'm really trying to do is make certain personal
maps, to scale, marked with things I choose, whose spatial interrelations
I want to study. For me, that study and what I can learn from it are the
whole point.
