Re-spidering

I saw your note on User talk:DaughertyBw and we actually don't re-spider pages. That's because AboutUs is a wiki, meaning that pages are editable. The initial bot scrape is just to get things going and to give you an initial canvass to work from, because we realize that human-created content is much more valuable than anything a spider can do.
