Let's recap: 1) You did lots of hard work creating content 2) You applied the maxspeed change 3) You refused to accept the contributor terms Now, 3) totally negates the benefit of 1). It's actually worse than if you had never contributed anything at all, because the net effect for us is a lot of wasted effort in trying to work around your contributions. And 2) makes all this much worse again. So, regardless of how much time and effort you've actually put in, as far as I see your overall contribution to OSM, it's negative. You have harmed this project more than you have helped it. Sorry, but it's true. Buying someone the most amazing birthday present counts for nothing if you take it away from them again. So, John, if you'd like to tick that little box that indicates acceptance of the CTs, then I'd be happy to shower you with admiration and gratitude. If not, it's hard to see what we have to be grateful for: your contribution to the OSM database will be precisely zero.
