    i have used your plugin on a few occasions and it is great! one question
   that i have for you is this. Is it possible to have a csv import overwrite any
   existing directory listings with the same field data? just wondering.

 * Hi carbfrze,
 * Yes, you can definitely “update” existing listings (overwriting them) if you 
   like. To do so, do the following:
    – Use CSV Export under Directory Admin and
   make sure to include the sequence ID – Edit the resulting CSV file however you
   like – Re-import the CSV under Directory Admin->CSV Import. Because of the sequence
   ID, your listings will be overwritten with the new data.
