One further note on the comments above:  I checked and the same pattern 
also holds for the males...groomings are added to the interaction 
matrix.  I  ran Omo's ALM Dec 06 and Nyayo's Jan 06.  The added 
interaction, ODE > AFR, is accounted for the by grooming data (in 
Dec06).  SAT > TAL and COS > TAL are accounted for by the grooming data

Earlier today I thought Jun had fixed this for the males but not for the 
females....but I just happened to run a matrix with no extra grooming 
data.  So the bottom line seems to be that new Ranker incorrectly adds 
grooming data to both the male and female agonism matrices.
