Oh , if only it were that simple.

Partly as I said in my earlier email, the CT's talk about data you have 
added, not data which still exists.

But more importantly your contributions would still remain in all the planet 
dumps, so I presume you'd be relying on the "database people" to remove the 
data from them as well.  Probably a time consuming task, but potentially 
do-able.  But then there are all the copies of the planet dumps held on 
other peoples computers.  Should the "database people" ask for all of them 
to be returned so they can be cleaned?

You see data you add to OSM cant easily be removed.
