I did not give you permission to share
a private conversation on the list.

That is also about copyrights, Davie.

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.

Thanks
