Dear Saqib,

I'm a male, although in French speaking countries my name does strongly suggest the opposite... already tested...

You can make a test. In system with +/-m_j degeneracy (i.e., a linear chain of atoms without magnetic fields), you should find that the data in the +/-mj columns are identical.
