[josm-dev] Accuracy is important - not!

Hi,

    I was astonished to read on the JOSM MOTD under the "Golden Rules of 
OSM":

"Accuracy is important - only map the places you have been!"

I had to remove this of course, because (1) accuracy is *not* important, 
we always tell people to put something in even if they don't know it 
*exactly* (someone else can fix it later), and (2) we constantly map 
places we have never been, using aerial imagery.

Whoever put this message there, please re-think what it is you wanted to 
say and then find the proper wording for it, one that does not clash 
with the usual customs in the project ;-)

Bye
Frederik
