CSV value not being read as it appears

Thanks for your e-mail. The data was a report derived from a statewide
database, saved in EXCEL format, so the usual issue of the vagaries of
human data entry variation wasn't the issue as the data was an automated
report, which is run every three months.

If this problem occurs with computer generated data, it may also be
worthwhile to talk to whoever is in charge of that reporting system
and hope to get the bug fixed.

And just to add one of my favorite inital checks: I always double
check if the number of levels of each factor in my data.frame seems to
make sense.
