I don't think Michał was mixing those two different matters. "Your edits are public" also means the fact that *you* edited *that particular* piece of data is public, from which someone could infer eg. where you live; it's not mixing the subject of privacy concerns with the data itself. -- Nicolás _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
