<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>"Granted, these
things can be avoided by changing the way I work or by <BR>fixing JOSM,
but I don't like the outlook. 0.3 degrees is <BR>devastatingly small if
you want to work on things like large rivers, <BR>and the 50.000 node
limit kills your request if you accidentially <BR>have a city in your bbox
even if you were only interested in the <BR>waterway."</FONT></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2><BR> I agree, breaking ways and having
to rework is one of the reasons I could have declining interest in editing. Its
difficult enough "though pleasant" to collect data, and then edit it.
Compounding the problem is finished work being broken through the editing system
and not being able to work on larger features and ways convieniently. I've lost
tons of work, part of it is just the learning curve of what is possible with the
current state of the tool set. I like to fix and forget, not constantly scan for
what else I may be breaking, again... and having to patch postage stamps
together will probably be annoying. Not trying to irritate.</FONT></DIV>
