Aren't we all these days? For me, the problem comes from confusing terminology. You're absolutely right that if you upload to OSM, it's because you want to share. However, the term "private" should not be used with data that is very quickly not. I can't conceive of any reason right now why you would want to do this, but I never would have dreamed up the internet either. The idea of "semi-private" or "obscured" sounds better than "private". "Private" makes me think that people actually are actively working to maintain a certain level of privacy, one that-- almost by definition-- means that it is impossible or at least extremely difficult to trace the tracks back to me. Since this doesn't seem to be the service that OSM delivers, or would even want to, it might be useful to change a couple words on the web page. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
