That's an excellent summary - I'll have to remember that.  Sometimes new 
mappers think that they need to back up their experience of a local area 
by saying things like "you can confirm this by looking at Google 
StreetView".  It's their experience of a local area that's important, 
not the fact that other users can confirm how things were at some time 
in the past by looking at pictures on the Internet.

Cheers,
