I agree. Actually, I'd say it's not an import at all. I'm opposed to imports of address data. But I'm not at all opposed to "computer-assisted manual edits". On the other hand, I don't think you're going to get very far with computer-assisted manual edits. As you said, "even after we celebrate our 10,000th US-based active editor we'd still have to convince every single one of them to go survey 17,000 addresses". But hey, prove me wrong :). _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
