Unfortunately, in the case</p><p class=MsoNormal>> of this mapper (see previous interactions at e.g.</p><p class=MsoNormal>> https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/PopeyePopcord/blocks and</p><p class=MsoNormal>> https://openstreetmap.org/changeset/119735027 ) I think we need to have</p><p class=MsoNormal>> a soup?on of skepticism.</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> Best Regards,</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> Andy</p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>> _______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>> Talk-ca mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>> Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Subject: Digest Footer</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________</p><p class=MsoNormal>Talk-ca mailing list</p><p class=MsoNormal>Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org</p><p class=MsoNormal>https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>------------------------------</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>End of Talk-ca Digest, Vol 170, Issue 11</p><p class=MsoNormal>****************************************</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
