There is none. Did editor ask you to follow this "suggestion"? I wonder if there is anyone among the subscribers of this bb who would come forward and support this "I/sigmaI >3.0" claim. What was your I/sigma, by the way? I almost always collect data to I/sigma=1, which has the downside of generating somewhat higher R-values. Shall I, according to this reviewer, retract/amend every single one of them? What a mess. Cheers, Ed. -- "I'd jump in myself, if I weren't so good at whistling." Julian, King of Lemurs
