Good morning,
    
       The agonism's should have true dates starting in 1995.  So they 
should only be forced to the first through the end of 1994. As for 
grooming, by the time we decided we wanted the dates on the 2006A 
update, Leah had said it was too late.  But those can be added in later, 
right Karl?  So grooming should not have true dates up to and through 
the 2006A update, with the obvious exception of Psion data.

I hope this clarifies things,

Lacey
