God save us from a ``"customer service" attitude'' --- bland, fatuous, feel-good useless twaddle! If you want a ``custome service'' attitude go and use Microsoft's crap! The subscribers to this list are not customers, they are participants in a collective endeavour. Those who come in with an ``I'm a customer; service me'' (;-)) attitude should look elsewhere. If they are such wimps that they collapse from being told a few brusque home truths, they shouldn't be doing statistical computing in the first place. When a Certain Guru rips strips off people (God knows he's done it to me often enough) on this list, there's a damned good reason for it. cheers, Rolf Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
