[Talk-ca] Deleted nodes.

[G. Michael Carter]

  I just it a rather frustrating scenario.   I was uploading a large set 
of data into the Thunder Bay area.   My network connection died in the 
middle.  (and didn't notice for a day)   No big deal, I just restarted 
the upload as it had been saving changes in the new JOSM.

However, what I didn't realize is magellan 
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/magellan> had gone in and started 
deleting any orphaned nodes from the now closed first change set.  So I 
have this big batch that I can't finish the upload as magellan has 
deleted all required nodes.

I've asked magellan if they could refrain from deleting objects in that 
area so I can fix the batch... just wanted people to be aware if there 
deleting in an area.   I'm guessing magellan saw the 50,000 orphaned or 
duplicate nodes and did a clean up while my batches were still 
processing.   Problem is if your uploading and it's going to take 
multiple change sets the first set contains all the new nodes. (thus 
creating duplicates and orphans)  The second or third changeset has the 
ways, and relations.
