I need to import thousands of addresses and came across two modules which could work.

Node Import and User Import.

The description page of User Import is more precise and allows for importing of a file uploaded through ftp which sounds like a real timesaver.

Wondering if anyone has used either. I am not an experienced user of Drupal, databases, etc.

users != nodes -- if you're importing users use user_import, if you're importing nodes use node_import. Also, another option for nodes is the migrate module.

As to nodes versus user profiles, It seems as long as it can get into a cck field the rest will be fine.

Though, I do need to give it some thought.

Migrate sounds great, if it can handle the Economist I am guessing it works.

Thanks.
