So much effort gone down the drain.

In my own case I've discovered that even though I'd mapped the entire
length of the Waterfall Way from Armidale to Coffs Harbour long ago,
somebody at some time has edited pieces and now, because they've not
"ticked the box", those edits appears as gaps along the route.  e.g.:

  http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-30.4815&lon=152.9683&zoom=14&layers=M

So I can't even assume that anything that I contributed and thus thought
might be complete, is complete.
