I wanted to thank all of the people who responded to my question about
lab data.  They are: fred.x.gehm, Fehd, Ronald J., Steve Albert, Jim
Moody, David L. Cassell, Jennifer A. Hoff, Frank Schiffel, Droogendyk,
Bill, and Brucken, Nancy.

I, too, am somewhat nervous about just deleting values because it
exacerbates a restriction of range problem in our case.  The paper that
we are trying to replicate just deleted the values and I am not sure
they were right.  This is a wonderful forum for obtaining a sample of
opinions about such things.  I have not used the different forms of
missing values before, so I will have to look this up and give it a
try.  Thank you all again.

Dennis Fisher
