The day gmail stops putting two blank lines and the cursor at the top of the message is the day I stop accidentally top-posting because I hit "reply", dash off a message, and send. > On Jul 17, 2009, at 9:29 AM, David Lynch wrote: > >> Because I and numerous other mappers have put a hell of a lot of time >> and effort into getting things right, and I don't want anyone breaking >> it because an algorithm assumes it isn't right. > > Well, I guess that's an argument for only editing data still owned by > that DaveHansen character. > > I appreciate that you have invested significant time and effort into > getting a particular area into good shape.

Taking that literally, you end up with a lot of places where things would be broken needlessly (because they've been verified to be correct.) Reduce the possibility of a false positive in your identifications, and I'd be a lot more okay with it. I'd probably settle for disconnecting nodes where no way using it ends, whether or not it has been edited. -- David J.
