Given how he has explained it so far, I don't see that he is (but that could simply be me being incapable of following it). His interpretation seems to me to be, let's say, highly idiosyncratic: you're not allowed to draw a border out at sea because that's not verifiable, you have to imagine that same border then do complicated calculations based upon the imaginary border you haven't drawn in order to place a node there; that way it's much more verifiable because nobody can see where your imaginary border was or if you did the calculations correctly or if you just shoved the node there for label-painting or even at random. And if you based your border on out-of-copyright navigation charts showing the sheltering extent of the bay, or based it on depth readings, you're still wrong because reasons. Given all that, I would find his behaviour unconscionable in a newbie, let alone (if another poster here was correct about this) a DWG member because it seems tantamount to vandalism. The fact that this was done by a DWG member (if he is one) makes me reconsider how much effort I'm willing to put into mapping. Maybe he, or somebody like him, will take issue with something I've done and without discussing it with me simply delete it. Not ask me why I did it that way, not suggest a better way of doing it, not point me at a relevant wiki page backing his/her reasoning, just delete it. Then I'd go on wasting my time merrily doing it the wrong way and he'd carry on merrily deleting what I've done, which is not very productive. Perhaps he hasn't explained his reasoning simply enough that fools like me can understand it. Perhaps if he manages to do that I'll back him up on his decision and help him go around deleting the work of others. Until and unless that happens, I'm feeling vicariously cheesed off for Daniel. -- Paul
