[OSM-talk] stats

[Ben Robbins]

I don't no which, but I asume the stats that sit miles above the rest have 
all been made that high by script inports/bots (whatever there callled).   
Anything considrably more than about 5000 edits in one day I would be 
sceptical of, and therefore about 150,000 in a month, although from real 
users I would guess 50,000 would be hard to do in a month.

"Month of Mapping".   Asuming your in the northern hemisphere, thats very 
inpressive.  The short Winter days suck big time for riding.   Am I correct 
that it is you that has uploaded '	1021210' points?  Because I pointed that 
out in a post a few days back..  To quote myself...

"I also noticed SteveC has uploaded 1,000,000 trackpoints, nice one.  Is 
this
a call for one of those star things? (discussed back in August)"

Well it's not the best motivation, but if it makes you produce many good 
quality maps then its a good thing.

In checking this I notice that the majoriy of enteries towards the topend 
are autmatic uploads/bots/scripts (or whatever there called).  It would be 
nice to highlight these or just filter them out.  (numbers 1,2,3,4,7,9,12,13 
all seem to be examples of these).
