Hmm.  I don't really understand why that would be.  Anybody else see this?
Do you find that you need to re-bin by a factor of 7?

It's news to me that you can move a point on the graph at all. I
thought you could only remove it or not.  Anybody else know anything
about this?

I'm sort of stumped.  Do you see this behavior with other data sets as
well or just this particular set?  Is re-binning always the solution?
