I don't think you should report anything. You need a consultation.  

Rhelp is established to offer technical advice about running R code.

"Questions about statistics: The R mailing lists are primarily intended for 
questions and discussion about the R software. However, questions about 
statistical methodology are sometimes posted. If the question is well-asked and 
of interest to someone on the list, it may elicit an informative up-to-date 
answer. See also the Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and 
consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and probability).

Basic statistics and classroom homework: R-help is not intended for these."
