<P><BR>Not shore where my emails go, but I'll send this one again, and see who gets it...when you recieve it, send it to 10 of your freinds, and they can send it to 10 of theres...etcetc...hopefully ill get a reply...alternatively just ignore it.</P>
<P>I asumed that the counting was counting the amount of nodes that where created. I didn't relise it was the amount of breadcrumbs uploaded from a gps. I think counting/noting the amount of nodes created (for example), might be a better system.</P>
<P>I recon its a good idea for more work, more reward, but if its just the amount of breadcrumbs, then i could just leave my gps overnight and would have 10,000 more in the morning all in 1 spot.</P>
