As we have explained repeatedly, this is not so easy. The R-help mailing list is archived in several different formats by different pieces of software, and all of the archivers would have to remove the e-mail addresses {and yes, I agree there's the specifically the point that for mailman's pipermail, there's no such option, apart from the simple replacement of the at-sign HOWEVER, and this is my main point: Even if you use an anonymized E-mail address, why can't you decently give your real name and address (w/o E-mail or other URL course !) in your signature? Similarly to Brian, I'm much more reluctant to help people who don't exist :-) -- who knows, maybe you're a computer program who has just passed the Turing test :-) Martin Maechler, ETH Zurich ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
