Hi, Dennis. You did not address the question, so far as I can see. You stated an answer, which I take to be your personal opinion on the point, but you supplied no supporting arguments. I had asked "are those properly called 'z' scores?", because z scores are commonly defined in terms of population values (aka parameters), while the values I was questioning were calculated from sample values. Possibly a minor and not-very-interesting point, but I'm unwilling to take an unsupported assertion as a reasoned reply ;-).
