The POINT-AGAPE Survey: Comparing Automated Searches of Microlensing Events toward M31

Searching for microlensing in M31 using automated superpixel surveys raises a number of  difficulties which are not present in more conventional techniques.
Here we focus on the problem that the list of microlensing candidates is sensitive to the selection criteria or ``cuts'' imposed and some subjectivity is involved in this.
