Since the "Best of Google Earth Community" has been removed from an option within the layers I have had very few links from this post. There have been 3 location corrections made since 1 July 2008 compared to 78 made in June 2008. I find it hard to believe that the data set is suddenly highly accurate with respect to location and can only conclude that nobody is looking at it anymore.

The replacement of "Places" doesn't really compare. I believe that users of Google Earth are worse off for loss of access to a moderated collection of placemarks. I suspect that Stefan Green has found out the reason why in this post about politics.

The result is that I question the value of putting hours into something that not many people will look at. I'll keep updating the locations based on corrections received but may not update the whole data set in April 2009 when the NPI releases their new data, especially if they don't publish their unique site IDs as is the current pattern.

All replies or PM's are welcome.
