It's not so simple. This changeset:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4300452 made me a
"villain" when I selectively undid a so-called hero's indiscriminate
joining of highways to boundaries, power lines, and pipelines:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4175719 . Of course it
was useless, since another "hero" later came along and screwed it up
again: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4385668

(Apparently I'm now a "hero" - maybe I should do another unjoining so
I can be on both lists.)
