Er, no, and kindly don't put words in my mouth like that. The author of
Potlatch against allowing newbies to contribute? Well, I suppose it would
save me a lot of work.

I'm against people who don't know anything about waterways voting down
sensible waterway tagging. I'm against people who've never mapped a footpath
or bridleway voting on smoothness. I'm against people like me, who don't
even know what a baby hatch is, voting on baby hatches.

OSM newbie or otherwise has nothing to do with it. Subject knowledge does.

cheers
Richard
