Right. Clustering occurs, but is compatible with the
random distribution of unrelated events. I was not
saying clusters are a matter of perception. Karl may

Karl, Sirko Molau investigated this and also Detlef
Koschny even earlier. Certainly other people, too, 
but I can't remember right now.

Best wishes,
Rainer
