I can top that. I CREATE unconnected ways with Potlatch!

During LinuxTag I often had to fire up Potlatch because one of our
machines didn't have JOSM installed. The person I was presenting to 
was usually treated to a first-hand experience of toggling between 
the edit view and the "First Steps" wiki page ;-) and I guess I created
a number of unconnected ways initially. Later I had a situation where
Potlatch continually complained that I wasn't logged in while the 
screen still showed my user name in the top right corner - session
expiry perhaps? - On another occasion I would have liked a short
session expiry, when out of the corner of my eye I spotted some 
visitors having fun at one of our machines, and suddenly realised
they had Potlatch open... and it was NOT in play mode ;-) I explained
to them that they were just editing our database which they found 
a bit hard to believe. 

Bye
Frederik
