Re: [OSM-talk] finding overlapping buildings

I agree as well, we should be careful not to delete the history of the OSM features. It does take longer in the dense areas of the city, however in the rural areas it's not a concern since there just isn't any buildings what so ever. Great comment & concern, *~~* *Denis Carriere*
