st: manual demeaning of panel data

[Scott Cunningham <scunning@gmail.com>]

I want to manually demean my data to use in a separate fixed effects  
regression model.  If "id" marks each individual, and "year" marks  
each year of data, how can I manually demean this data (ie subtract  
the mean [across years[ of each variable marked by "id")?
