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.
