We find that our sample of AGNs are spread: over a wide-range of Edclington ratio. ye0.002 0.3 (median =0.014: see Column Ll of Table 2): the five Compton-thick ACiNs are at systematically higher Eddington ratios. rjz0.01 0.3 (median z0.2).

The median $L_X$ appears to decrease with increasing age, but we must exercise special care in the interpretation of this trend: there is a widespread concern that the age spread indicated by the position of low mass stars still on the Hayashi tracks may be largely, or even entirely, due to an artificial spread in the bolometric luminosities \citep[cf.][]{har01}.
