It seems I'm a villain too although it's news to me.<br><br>Thinking about it, it must be from copying and pasting some OS VectorMap polygons between .osm layers in JOSM over the last couple of weeks. JOSM seems to create the nodes for the polygon and then create them again with the way if that makes any sense.<br>
<br>If that is the case then maybe the JOSM guys could look into it as it wasn't obvious to me at least that this was happening.<br><br>Kevin<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 May 2010 14:18, Nathan Edgars II <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:neroute2@gmail.com">neroute2@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>It's not so simple. This changeset:<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4300452" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4300452</a> made me a<br>
"villain" when I selectively undid a so-called hero's indiscriminate<br>
joining of highways to boundaries, power lines, and pipelines:<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4175719" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4175719</a> . Of course it<br>
was useless, since another "hero" later came along and screwed it up<br>
again: <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4385668" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4385668</a><br>
<br>
(Apparently I'm now a "hero" - maybe I should do another unjoining so<br>
I can be on both lists.)<br>
