I know what you mean.  Luckily, the post where I slagged off everyone
else's choices never seemed to turn up at any point.
Lets give it another go. ;)

I did have a good TP on there once, but its not a map I'd be sorry to
leave out.

Don't hold back there, just tell it like it is. ;)
(I'm not too fussed about the looks, but I never really liked playing it
much.  I met the maker once, though, and he seemed OK ;)

Aiieeee!  KILL!  KILL the HERETIC!!!  (ahem)
Urban2 actually isn't too bad in TP, but I really can't stand it for DM.
I'm not saying I'll actually go so far as to hunt people down and shoot
them if they vote for it, but half bricks combined with windows are not
out of the question.

>No-one seems to have mentioned office3 or mall2 (classics, IMHO). 

Maybe my posts didn't arrive anywhere at all ever, so here's my votes
again.
(cov92 &locknload), (subway2),(KGB2),(monastery),(office3)
cheyenne, lighthouse, desert, kumanru, colt 

Mall2 is probably too big for DM, dunno about the original Mall though.

>The new ones like tokyo, downtown, midtownx and subway99 haven't turned up 
>either, which surprises me.

Subway99?  Is that a beta?  I have decided not to get any beta levels
after the Beach farce.

Midtownx is great, but midtown is probably a better size for DM, IMO.
Downtown?  I'm just getting it now, give me a chance willya!

As for Tokyo, I think I've seen this map before - more than once.  
Not my thing really.
