I have just been going through some POI's that needed repairing and I suddenly realised:-
There are more than a quarter million of us, registered PGPSW users. If we all were to repair or add only one POI every week, the database would rapidly become the most accurate comprehensive database anywhere on the net
Shall we give it a go? Let's turn 318,000 into 813,000. Go on, just one, it won't hurt _________________ TT Go 720 (T)

Unfortunately it won't happen quite that quick, as there's only 1 person checking each, and every, submission. Quite a few of them require a bit of detective work, which takes longer.
Good idea though. _________________ Richard
