		Looking at the US Census Bureau's list of metro areas [1] (http://www.census.gov/population/cen2000/phc-t3/tab01.xls), it seems the difference is Pickens County, which they include in the metro area but we don't.
		It is not clear if this was a statement that 164.111.195.234 believes the 28-county definition to be wrong, or whether they simply hadn't noticed that the map no longer corresponds to the definition of the Atlanta metropolitan area adopted above.
		Either way, either the text or the map must change to keep consistency, and as 164.111.195.234 is anonymous and made no attempt to explain the change, it is easiest to stick with the text and drop the map again.
