Hi,

this is from Adam. There is a mismatch between data and MC at forward
angles, too.

Here is the latest crunch data for e,e'p theta_e:

THere are no cuts except eL,pR and vice versa. Also red =data, black is mc




Also I am not an authorized poster of ANAWARE so you may have to pass
this along.
