No, I'd rather keep it on list, as I'd really like people to know the quickest and best methods for keeping as much data as possible; keeping as much history as possible and keeping making progress with a great open map.  I honestly don't care if one user considers the methods involved to be "cheating" because they're easier than another method.

Feel free to enjoy looking through massive piles of buildings and coastline rearrangement.  Is your assertion here that FOSM would enjoy watching the destruction of a large, free, open database of map data?  That doesn't exactly caste FOSM in the best light does it?

No one asserted that you were stupid, you've made some pretty intelligent comments.  Please don't spoil that by putting FOSM in a bad light and making rash ones now.
