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.) ------------------------ Yahoo!
