I didn't see any intention to provoke in Nick's email just a statement of fact. No one would dispute that Liz has done some great mapping over the years and it would be fantastic if she kept her data in OSM. But if she and others are determined to pull their data out then I agree with Nick that its not the end of the world. As Liz points out some of the mapping she has done is in out of the way places that people rarely go to. Maybe we could encourage some locals in those out of the way places to map their own areas including the data that's important to their community and their local businesses.

Just trying to cause a lot of anger, or was there some sort of productive intent that I missed?
