George,
The reason there have been no comments or corrections or
objections is that the day after each release there has been an
announcement that the data is broken and that the tools do not work on
this data, 'but will work soon'. So we have not yet bothered to even look
at it. Perhaps this been the case for other sites as well.
I am hoping that we do not repeat the experience of several of the
previous evaluations in which the data and software did not work until
after the evaluation.
