Aaron-- can you contact Idealist to have them do a better job?
   I'd rather avoid reverse-engineering their feed format...

Karen-- in the future, go ahead and assign these directly to Aaron,
   who's working with the major feed providers as the expert on
   the data schema and what should be in each field.

Just to be clear: I'm asking them to remove this duplicate? We don't have a 
problem
with the all caps or anything like that. Correct?

I am still noticing a problem.  In their snippets, they say "PROJECT 
DESCRIPTION"  or 
"REPORTS TO", or "OVERALL PROJECT DESCRIPTION"  These are bad quality snippets. 
 They 
shouldn't give us this.  Aaron, can you look into this?

I emailed them and they said they couldn't do anything about it as the users 
entered
these snippets.
