<br><tt><font size=2>I used to like working with OSM, but after my user
was blocked I don't. Hopefully it will come back. So for now I will leave
the import to you guys.</font></tt>
<br>
<br><tt><font size=2>I don't know if your example with the 50 000 nodes
was mine, but just in case; you of all should know that it failed because
my user was blocked by you. The nodes are always transfered first and the
ways and relations etc at the end. So a break like that will always make
it fail. And by the way, it was no problem reverting it.</font></tt>
