Thank you all - I was looking at the Way, not the individual points, and it was obviously one that was there before I started mapping that I then edited.
Is the process for deciding whether or not to delete a node set in stone? I am fairly sure that I have moved the majority of those nodes from where they were originally (I am fairly sure because there was originally only 1 path on OSM going up the hill when there are 2 different paths on the ground), so surely if I moved them from their original position they can't be deleted just because the specific node id in the database was originated by someone else?? that's crazy - what's the logic behind that decision - shouldn't the check ensure that they are at least in the same place as the originator positioned them? Otherwise I can see a lot of senseless destruction and that makes me really quite sad. Do I sound panicked? That might be because I am - it appears a *lot* of the footpaths and bridleways I've been editing over the last 3 years might be deleted. I will try to contact ngent, but to be honest I spend maybe an hour or two a week on OSM adding in walks I've done, so with all the good will in the world I don't realistically have the time to chase all of the original people who created nodes that are now potentially going to be deleted.
