Subject: Re: Can't view maps "created by others"
ADDENDUM:  It's not a FF profile issue.  I just checked again, and now
editing other users' maps doesn't work in the other FF profile,
either.  My wife tested with her Google account, and it's also not
working for her, both in FF2 and IE7.  Is there a problem with Google
Maps?
