[OSM-newbies] nodes with no tags

[Mike Thompson]

Andy,

Thanks for your reply.  I just visited that place in person (which was why
I was doing edits in the area).  I can't think of anything observable on
the ground that could be mapped where those nodes are that would also have
been part of a Tiger Import.  If the community would prefer, I can just
leave them.  Since I was doing edits in the area I thought I would clean
them up.  BTW, I have seen this in other areas, and I have seen it before
the redaction bot was run.  Although each case may be different, it seems
that in general this is a common occurrence.

Mike
