Answers.Text: Yes, good plan, and although we might not know why, I have a few guesses: extraneous or non-standard characters (carriage returns, new lines, foreign language) can botch an import.  best to clean up your CSV before importing.  a few "do not import" columns are fine.  A couple dozen is not a good plan.
