i guess most of the people who do ask questions here care little about r itself, they just want it to solve a problem, even if it involves hacking the language. those outside the r team who care about language design have probably left the list long ago, if only they were subscribed. the fact that it's only me asking is no statistics. i do talk to people, and know many who'd ask, but they just don't care, because they have already trashed r. instead of discouraging me, make use of that i care to ask. vQ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
