You may think so, but obviously they aren't good enough to prevent questions such as the one that started this thread. Hence my suggestion to do as more mature editors do when in doubt. Obviously they aren't hopeless in all cases, but I've frequently run into areas where it has been more useful to just read the source / network sniff than try to figure out what they're talking about. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
