Oh, yeah, it was, compared to the previous summer.
All my materials about it are in storage, but I'll
see if I can find some of the discussion on sci.skeptic
where I cited those numbers.  I'm making these up, but
it was on the order of falling from something like 375
incidents to something like 260 for a week.

(I don't mean *statistically* significant, if that's
what you're disagreeing with.  You can't tell about
statistical significance from numbers that raw.)
