So either fix it or *politely* ask the person who made the change to fix the alignment. (Trying to revert a changeset made by a committed, experienced mapper is *not* polite.) It looks to me like ToeBee joined together the state and county borders, which, if Colorado was anything like Maryland, probably differed from each other by more than the positioning error we're currently discussing. To me, that seems like an improvement, and if he made some alignment errors, that's worth an informative comment ("Hey, the county boundaries are defined by surveyed points that only approximated an exact longitude alignment,") not an imperious demand that it be fixed. I made almost the same mistake with Maryland's northern boundary. After reading more about the boundary, I realized my mistake and realigned it to USGS data. I'm glad no one berated me for doing it wrong before I corrected my own mistake. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- Every advance in civilization has been denounced while it was still recent. -- Bertrand Russell ---- --- -- _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
