the Oracle of Delphi. Questions, ideally, should be framed in such a
way that they might lead to improvements in R: extensions of the code
or, more frequently clarifications or extensions of the documentation.
Indeed the R-help archive itself serves this function and could profitably
be searched prior to firing off a question to R-help. As traffic on R-help
increases there is a delicate balance that must be maintained in order
to keep knowledgeable users interested in the list.

I perfectly agree with Robert Brown. Althogh I have been captivated by "R",
and will keep using it, I would appreciate if "R" gurus could make this clear.
