Well since you put it like that, I won't try to argue that it is correct, just that it is there. I'll claim, "Hysterical Raisins" and wave my hands a bit. It could be as simple as, "We don't have state abbreviations. I'll add them to the sate nodes, because the polygons take too long to load in memory..." _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
