[Frost] Question about plots

Hi,

I want to know how people feel about showing old plots from FROST g9a 
data. I am in the process of trying to obtain the newest preliminary plots 
from g9a that have been corrected for the carbon target contamination, but 
there are reactions that have probably not been corrected that I'd still 
like to show. For example, I have old plots for G using the pi+ n channel 
that I'd like to show that have not been corrected for the carbon 
contamination. For the case of G we still don't have the final linear 
polarizations, and even though the polarizations are not finalized, we 
presented those in the past.

This is kind of a gray area. For preliminary data, we usually know that 
there are unresolved problems and show plots without a lot of hesitation. 
However, the carbon contamination is a serious problem that might be 
throwing the results off by about 10-15% for some channels.

Should I only show corrected data, or can I use the older preliminary data 
that we know still needs the carbon correction?

Take care,
Michael
