Funny! I think it will land anywhere it falls irrespective of tags. :-) For any Europeans confused by American TLA*s, the abbreviation ATV originally referred to any All Terrain Vehicle from two-passenger 4x4 amphibious swamp carts to military-spec 8x8 monsters. But in common usage, ATV refers to a personal off-road vehicle, a motorcycle seat and controls but more knobby tires for off-road stability & traction: originally three-wheeled motor-tricycles, they have switched to four wheels for stability under government compulsion. Imagine a four-wheel motorcycle. *TLA = Three Letter Abbreviation -- Bill [email protected] [email protected] _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
