Agreed, the JOSM community isn't so large that it has overgrown the
general OSM mailing lists, the general lists also have the advantage
that when someone asks an editing question they'll frequently get
answers detailing how to do things in multiple editors. JOSM isn't
/always/ the right tool for the job :)
