[phenixbb] regarding number of unique reflections

Hi Viney,

if your data are anomalous then you expect to have Fobs+, Fobs- and 
singletons. If your data are not anomalous, you should not have +/- 
mates in your data set. So then the real question is: since you do not 
expect any anomalous signal and thus assume your data set isn't 
anomalous (as you said), then how come you ended up with a data set that 
contains Fobs+, Fobs- and singletons? Perhaps you should go back to data 
processing step and make sure you don't get anomalous data set in the 
first place.

Now as to counting... Fobs+ and Fobs- are the two entries in the array 
of float values, so they are counted as two, not one (in Phenix).
