Maybe you need to send them a message directly and point them to these 
pages:

connect to other ways.

Some examples (this is certainly not a complete list)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/156728997

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/156752098
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/154407242

Now this is going to create just as much work reconnecting ways as what
there would be if the ways were just deleted in the great purge.

So my message to hardsoft and anyone else contemplating mass remapping
efforts is, slow down and check your work otherwise some else is going
to have to come along and fix it all *again*
