Upon reading my own post, I realized that I left out a phrase that made it read like I was denigrating the knowledge and helpfulness of anyone using Nabble. That was not my intent. I intended to write I don't use Nabble, and I think that is the case for most of the people _on R-help_ that _I_ find to be most knowledgeable and helpful. There may well be some very knowledge and helpful people posting to R-help from Nabble, but the people whose posts I regularly read don't happen to use Nabble. And there have been a few posts of late where people posting from Nabble either don't care to, or can't figure out how to follow the posting guidelines when using Nabble. 'Nuff said. Dan Daniel J.
