THAT is a different matter Eugene - and I can support questioning of the way some contributors like to hide their identity, but if a contributor LOCALLY has entered data that they find that they have a problem with, then THAT needs a little more tactful handling! However the history of these changes will still be maintained. So an alternative method of 'correcting the mistake' will be required ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
