The elephant in the room is, I think, the idea that maybe mailing lists have had their day - if R-help was a web-based forum then threads could be moderated by a group of privileged individuals, or rated by users. Basically, stackoverflow.com For anyone who has never visited: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/r Good answers get modded up, bad ones slide off. I'm considering unsubbing from r-help, and adding the R feed from stackoverflow to my RSS reader...
