In my area, AL are adding legitimate data which helps improve the
quality of the OSM database. I believe they make the same amount of
errors as any other contributors, including experienced ones.<br>

Unsure why he thinks OSMF should be keeping an eye on contributors
purely because they're paid.<br>
I doubt Paul, when he started his first *paid* job was an expert at
it, & never made a mistake.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My first job, oddly enough, was with the Boy Scouts of America. A situation directly analogous to OSM. I was a Scout for about a decade before I found myself on payroll. Not to say I didn't make mistakes as an employee (I was 14), but I found myself on payroll because I rose to that level, not because some third party decided I should start scattergun efforts. Anybody paid to contribute to OSM <i>must</i> be capable of setting the example, as far as I'm concerned.<br></div><div></div></div></div>
