They are gone now. I used the following method to make them dissappear:<br><br>1) Using JOSM, create a new segment nearby. <br><br>2) Select the offending way and add the newly created segment to the way. <br><br>3) Then remove all old segments from the way *except* for the newly created segment.
<br><br>4) Upload<br><br>5) Delete the way and newly created segment.<br><br>6) Upload<br><br>I'm not sure why this works but it seems to do the job.<br><br>80n<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/18/07,
