[josm-dev] "Add nodes" functionality changed?

[Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists)]

I was unaware of any proposed change on this too.

I was sitting quiet as the problem and responses were provided in the list
here. Basically I had the same view as David did but can see that function
is provided now differently, which is fine, but if you need to count numbers
complaining you can add me to the list as its now taking me longer to edit
:-)

Cheers

Andy
