And that's what GIS people never understand. We've built a community  
and that relies on debates and interactions. They are *good* not bad.  
You guys seem to expect someone in a surveyor jacket with a GIS degree  
to ride in on a unicorn and say 'roads are type 54B, no exceptions!'.  
Our way is better. If you disagree, you're free to pay TeleAtlas to be  
right.
