Hi Werner,
I'm guessing that the context of this message is changeset discussion
comments such as on here:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/46520040
I think its worth making a couple of points:
1) If JOSM is really recommending that you change "source=Bing" to
"source=bing" or vice versa then I'd suggest that you ignore it. With
both "Bing" and "bing" it's pretty obvious what the source is and not
worth "editing" lots of objects to change it. I'd also suggest that
whatever it is in JOSM that's recommending this be changed so as not
to. A couple of times in the past I've suggested that JOSM's rules be
relaxed in this way and I've always found the JOSM developers to be
extremely helpful with this sort of issue.
2) The fact that you're replying here suggests that you might be trying
to reply to a changeset discussion; so it's perhaps worth explaining
what's happening how those work.
When someone adds a comment to the discussion on a changeset, you'll get
an email about it. Unlike with OSM mapper-to-mapper messages, you can't
just reply and have that reply go back to the person who sent it. You
need to click on the link in the message that takes you to the changeset
and login to OSM (if you're not already). Then you can type your
comments in the text box and click "comment" which will add your comment
to the discussion.
You can use one of Pascal Neis' tools to see who's commented on your
changesets if you know your userid; the example for mine would be
http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=61942 .
Best Regards,
Andy
PS: Obviously I'm assuming that you're the same Werner that made that
"Bing" change in Ireland; my apologies if I'm getting confused by
different people called Werner editing using the Bing imagery as a
background.
