I don't know about searching the archives, but the way I always handle the case you mention (point and area for the same object) is to keep the area and delete the point; however, before doing so, I will check the tags on both to see whether there are any on the point that are not on the area, and copy those (by hand) first. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
