In 1976, the respondent was not asked to give thermometer ratings for
individuals about which R "didn't know much" or "didn't know too
much." However, it is unclear whether such cases were coded DK or
NA: they may not have been coded consistently to one MD category.

98. DK; don't recognize (1984,1986,1988,1994,1996)
