[Talk-ca] Building Import

[Nate Wessel]

Seriously Danny?

Pierre was the first to suggest the DWG after you replied to him that 
wouldn't engage in further discussion. You only joined this conversation 
after I reported you.

There is a massive difference between making edits without review and 
importing millions of buildings without review.
