Yes, but I'll nitpick since this can be important: the fudge factors  
specify the fraction of the interaction _remaining_ rather than the  
"reduction factor", so 0.83333 means that it is 83% of the standard  
Lennard-Jones interaction. I'm sure this is what you mean since your  
factors are smaller than unity :-)

Cheers,
