[Talk-ko] Bad data ..

[Robert Helvie]

Through private message, I have already let him know that I asked other
mappers to help delete that bad data. So I think it won't be a surprise to
him.

Also, I have already deleted some of the data as I was crawling the map the
other day. I am sure there is a bunch more to get rid of, but at least the
process has started.

Happy mapping,

Robert
