Hi, Tancredi!

The timing will be by no means changed by a little tweaking of the HV
(speaking after months of monitoring the TOF behavior). That
would only change if, due to possible damage from the recent moving
around, PMTs stop behaving like they used to. Then we would need major HV
changes that could affect the timing.
Of course, Pete and I will take care of the TOF related issues over the
next weeks (as Doug's schedule has it). In fact we would appreciate if
people would only provide help for the TOFs when we ask for it... that way
we are consistent in our tests and keep possible damage to a minimum (of
course crane operation etc. is not part of it and we understand that is a
difficult job that can result in damage).

Well, the code was meant to compare TOF gains and pedestals for multiple
runs (who would compare one run - with what?) and I wrote it quickly in
December... Thanks for the fixing the bug though!
Run numbers I used at the Collaboration meeting in December are: 2665,
2666, 2667, 2701, 2740, 2943, 2944, 2999.
Cheers!

Adrian
