OSM is constrained by making the output data really and truly free for 
all users.

What you are trying to do will restrict the output data of OSM.

Is that an 'improvement'?

------------------------------------------------------

Deal with the principle issue. Errors/mistakes/accuracy and added data 
are side issues.

If someone does not want to see the messages of one or more contributors 
they are free to do so.  Just as they are free not to read a thread.

Ulrich  contributions break the social norms by using the digest as the 
subject title thus breaking any possibility to organise the threads into 
a sequence.
This is unsocial to all.
