Thanks for the detective work and for persisting with this.

I think it's very unlikely, however, that these users are editing OSM for a
company. Probably the majority of edits in the UK are done by what you might
call "lone mappers". Generally this works well and people plough their own
furrows successfully, happily modifying their practice if particular issues
are pointed out to them. But occasionally we have people who (perhaps
because of limited social skills) find it difficult to follow established
practice and co-operate with other contributors. There have been several
examples in the past and I'm sure many regulars here will be aware of a few
of them.

That's what I think we have here. I have no knowledge as to whether
Glucosamine, Dyserth and Sam888 are the same person or not - it wouldn't
surprise me either way. But they/he very much fit the "uncommunicative lone
mapper" model.

cheers
Richard
