Please dont add amenity=post_box to the boxes used by postmen to store mailbags whilst on their rounds. Post Box must be a place where one can post letters.

Whilst happy to be told what I've done wrong, if you do not add the positive bit (how to do it correctly) your actions + words are a waste of space.

Adding erroneous info the tag amenity=post_box is indeed wrong. Positive action is "dont do it again" & "delete the erroneous tag" & then we wont get a) someone posting notes about it; and b) someone wont use it to post a letter. It's not my job to find suitable tags for things I dont map.

So you reckon that I should just keep throwing darts at the [table of amenities](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity?uselang=en-GB) until I finally hit one that is acceptable to you? If you cannot define which is the acceptable tag then I will not accept your definition that the one used is unacceptable.
You state:
> Post Box must be a place where one can post letters.Not in the Wiki definition, it is not. *amenity=post_box* currently states:
> A box for the reception of mail. Alternative mail-carriers can be tagged via operator=*Either we all refer to an independent, unbiased definition or OSM is lost.
This is a piece of street-furniture owned by the Royal Mail that receives post; exactly equivalent already to the *Wiki* definition. *“There are more pillar boxes in this universe than you comprehend, Mr Bond”*.
You state that adding what you wrongly call *“an erroneous tag”* caused *“a) someone posting notes about it”*. You are not a very good intelligence agent, Mr Bond. In my [original tags](http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4114255916/history) I put *note=NOT for public post; undefined purpose*. ~3 months ago the chap from York explained what they were for. Now, *that* is helpful. Having corroborated that info I then changed all the notes on existing nodes.
You further insinuate that my adding what you wrongly call *“an erroneous tag”* will cause *“b) someone (to) use it to post a letter”*. Only if they have the key to open it, Mr Bond.
These boxes fit exactly into the description in the Wiki. I'm sorry that you do not like my actions. I'm changing nothing.
