No, it didn't.  I didn't start mapping until TIGER was imported.  Why?
Because I knew that a lot of the work had already been done.  Why
should I waste my time, as you folks in the UK have **been forced** to
waste your time reinventing an existing map?  We have a public domain
map which we could start with.

Don't try to cast your impediment as an advantage.  It wasn't, and our
advantage (sensible government policy) isn't an impediment.
