Since today is American Thanksgiving, I want to thank:
(a) R-core for all of their efforts to produce what is, IMHO,
the best statistical software around, not simply for the
convenience of doing more, better, quicker, but also
because it changes the landscape in the way one
thinks about data analysis. It's a fantastic playground
for a statistician and I enjoy using it immensely.
(b) All the folks on R-help who have asked interesting,
thought-provoking questions and those who have
provided even more thought-provoking and insightful
answers. I have learned so much from this forum in
the year or so since I rejoined it and I want to express
my appreciation for that to all of you.
(c) All the package developers who expand the capabilities
of the software and/or simplify the workflow - you
do a great service to the community with your efforts.
(d) All of you who have written books or tutorials about R
and those who host R-related web sites for your efforts
to transfer your cumulative knowledge to the community.
(e) All those kindly people who do yeoman work in the
background to make this list and project run more smoothly
and productively.
(f) Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman, without whom
this community would not exist.
(g) Anyone else I forgot who deserves some props for their
work in making this one of the top open-source
success stories around.
To the Americans on this list, Happy Thanksgiving, and to
the rest of you, thank you for making this such a vibrant
professional community.
Best regards to all,
Dennis
