Zbyszek, 

Since you mention I/sigmaI in your PDF, do you mean <I/sigmaI> or
<I>/<sigmaI>?  
Do you mean I/sigmaI (in whatever rendition you choose) for the averaged
unique reflections or the I/sigmaI for the observations?
Also since one can adjust sigmaI in your scalepack program through the use
of the Error Scale Factor or the Error Model, how can a reviewer believe any
of the I/sigmaI that are reported by authors?

Thanks for any insights into these questions, 

Jim
