That last is probably very true, that's my opinion as well that he's not 
seeing the existing ones.   He's not seeing the message I wrote last 
week for sure.  No one is home there.

Don't think I blamed Osmand, but Jo just mentioned that this is a 
possibility, and in fact.  Editors that do not "show it all" should 
stick to making notes to prevent this situation, I aggree with Jo on 
that.  In the end, it's the user that despite good intentions is the 
sole responsible for a mistake.

In the end I care more about solving this than solving the blame, App 
makers (be it webbased or not) should also implement the simple message 
communication system in OSM.  It's very hard to reach this person now.
