We did a clean-up of Mounts and Consorts data in February to try to 
catch some of these problems, but it would be good to keep a check in 
there to catch future mistakes.  These are the clean-ups I did:

Following discussion with JA and SCA, the following Mounts, 
Ejaculations, and Consorts were deleted from Interact and Parts:

All MCEs where the actor was female

All MCEs where the actee was male

All MCEs where the female actee had not yet reached menarche

<>All MCEs where the male actor was not yet 4 years old
 

(This follows the criteria for recording MCEs in the monitoring guide.)

In addition to the gender checks, do we want to have the age/maturation 
checks in there as well?  I don't see why not, if those are the ground 
rules for recording MCEs.  Is that feasible, Karl?
