That is interesting. Would that still be the case
be even after you're many steps past checking your
data entry for mistakes? How about even after you
combine you perfectly formatted data with some
less exerienced cavers collection of "really weird data",
that is, it ain't exactly in the format you would have
used, but the numbers are good (or are the only
numbers available), so you combine the two
data sets. In that case, I think I'd just stick with one
format when view such a combined set.
