[ccp4bb]: brief summary about translational NCS

Many thanks to those who responded to the questions about
translational NCS. Because most answers have already been posted
on CCP4BB directly, it's probably unnecessary to make a lengthy
summary this time.
Bart Hazes answered the original questions perfectly - briefly it's
ok to use random selection. Others suggested to tweak crystals into
a smaller cell by using cryoprotectant (David Schuller, Clemens Vonrhein),
heavy atoms (Sundar), or reducing humidity (Shekhar Mande). As a super
bonus, the new crystal form often diffracted to much higher resolution.
Felix Vajdos suggested to use correlation coefficent rather than
R-factor and to study into the contributions of the weak reflections on
phasing.
Thank you all very much,
Holly Jing
