Pieren - I can remember the discussion in relation to the Canadian imports, but 
I don't have time to go back through. The general jist was that it was difficult 
to separate tidying up imported data from the 'base' import, and short term it 
would not be practical to make changes to the software to identify the 
differences, so the short term fix was to 'request' that the base import had a 
different user id. With the intention that a better solution would be looked into.

We know that the process IS flawed, and that it needs tidying up, and since you 
have practical experience of handing this type of import, how about contributing 
to the overhaul? Actually where is THAT being debated?
