</div>Right, wrong or indiff I've been removing them on things I edit as I see them as a waste, since it only tells you what created them, not the last editor that edited them and so does nothing to figure out most editing bugs in apps, except perhaps on new nodes/ways/etc.<br>

<br>I remove them if I'm editing something anyway and I can be bothered, but there's not much point in going out of your way.<br><br>Dave<br><br><br> <br></div></div><br>
