[phenixbb] regarding number of unique reflections

No, I disagree strongly with that suggestion about pruning the data! The conversion of intensities to amplitudes loses information that cannot be recovered, so the intensities should *always* be included in the deposition. Depositing unmerged intensities (now possible, as Gerard says) is even better and, if you do that, I won’t complain about only depositing amplitudes in the merged data. Removing Bijvoet pairs when you’re sure there is no anomalous signal is fine (but if anyone disagrees and you’ve deposited unmerged intensities, they can get them back).

Best wishes,

Randy Read
