May I make a suggestion that I don't really want you to take? If you really agree with Frederik that abandoned railways should not be mapped, and you think it's okay to delete things other people added just because you think they shouldn't be in OSM, then you should write an script which locates railway=abandoned and automatically removes it everywhere. If you TRULY have the courage of your convictions, go ahead and do it. You'll get blocked from editing OSM, and your minority opinion will disappear from the project. Problem solved. If you *don't* do this, then your true opinion will be revealed that you are in fact okay with people adding railway=abandoned to highway=track, and you're just wasting everybody's time on the mailing list by arguing for actions you are unwilling to take. Problem solved. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
