[Talk-us] Multipolygonizing

[Ian Dees]

Hi everybody!

Please remember to stay on topic and friendly. This thread seems to be
drifting off into a discussion about the merits of OSM editors.

Also remember that long replies tend to result in people talking past one
another. Short, sweet, and to the point helps a conversation stay on topic.
