Ed - isn't that the way it is with most data sets? The closer you are,
the more your heartburn. According to Horwood's Laws of Data (thanks to
Mark Hallenbeck for making these available), Law #4 says that "The
respectability of existing data grows with elapsed time and distance
from the data source to the investigator."

However, if you hire someone and don't look
too closely you will get fine data set. I probably got to close to
mine....
