CU wanted a new site map. They paid someone to provide it for them. 
Which is fine, but please don't suggest they're contributions are 
superior to those of any anybody else. Especially when they decided to 
knowingly go against accepted tagging procedures. Many of us "put in a 
lot of resource".

They should expect their incorrect data to be rectified just as any of 
contributor should. I'm mildly irritated that these corrections have to 
be done by those who didn't create the errors in the first place.
