When I wrote the mars.pl script in order to detect the aliens among us, I simply discarded a golfer's worst Y-index and averaged the rest. Prior to doing this Markko had evaded detection. By the way, the script is using the updated book.xml that includes this month's data. Not surprisingly, nothing has changed. The usual aliens, the usual suspects. http://www.redsquirreldesign.com/cgi-bin/fun/mars.pl > (and Dave would be, uh, still at 5. Bad, I know, but I can't >do miracles ;) ) Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. [Dave crawls back up to his roof to check his alien communicator array, verifying that the signal is correctly sending the /abduction/ command.]
