Nope, didn't.

No, that doesn't work. Instead, the mapper needs to select a bounding box (or two or more) for the areas they're interested in. Then, when you post a message about a particular point, it goes to everyone with a matching bounding box. Otherwise ... Spammers just pick a bounding box the size of the world. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
