Yes, I remember ed's recommendation. Although I can't find the discussion in the mailinglist, I also remember I asked the group on whether I should remove the POIs. As far as I can recall nobody responded (or I may have missed the message).
Update: the user accepted responsibilty for adding roadguide traces into osm. I advised the user to remove his/her contribution with consideration for a possibility that his/her contributions have been merged with other's work. Some may require manual work rather than massive reverting. On 8/17/09, Ed Garcia <eppgar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I remember a bulk update a while back where POIs from roadguide were added > to OSM.
