As a general comment, discussions on boards like ccp4bb often digress
and take direction different from you original intent. I may understand
your desire to try to control the situation, but if people on this board
feel that the questions of data sharing, student training, netiquette
and proper choice of resolution cutoff are worthy of further discussion
(that may not have much to do with specifics of your original request
for assistance), it is their right too.
What may have caused some extra grief is this unfortunate turn of phrase
in your original post
"Could you try some refinement for me, because this is first structure
that i need to solve as a student and i dont have too many experience
with it."
It goes a bit beyond the usual "my R-values are too high what should I
do" question and may be instinctively construed as if you expect someone
to actually do your work for you (I am sure that is not what you asked).
So a bit of a vigorous reaction that you received likely results from
misunderstanding your intent (albeit posting your data is very unusual
and strengthens the impression) and perhaps misplaced feeling that you
have abandoned attempts to resolve the problem independently too soon.
I did *not* look at your data and therefore I may be completely wrong
here, but it is my understanding that your actual issue was not
realizing there could be more than one molecule in the asymmetric unit.
More traditional route is to describe your situation in general terms
and offer to provide data to those willing to take a closer look.
Cheers,
Ed.
