No, that's exactly what I intended. I think that nobody would be complaining if I did the above. How, then, does it suddenly become an import if I skip the step where I bicycled the portion of the route I am entering? I cannot see how it does. I'm not arguing about the quality of the route chosen by AASHTO. Maybe they did a good job, maybe they didn't. I'm saying that the negative characteristics of an import are completely absent from this project: > o imports create a whole new set of nodes. > o imports can have copyright issues. > o imports can be non-human-scale. > o imports can be data dumps that don't get maintained. > o imports make bulk changes to the database. If an import is completely signed in every case, that doesn't solve any of the problems caused by an import. -- --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-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
