Changeset list getting clobbered by MapRoulette...

[Paweł Paprota]

Hi Jeff,

Richard described the current situation quite nicely. I will just add
that this problem is as easy to solve as it may seem, mainly due to the
amount of data that OSM has.

But because you wrote "I'm not a coder" I will spare you the gory
technical details :-)
