And, for crying out loud: WATCH THE BLOODY CC: FIELDS AND THE PR# AND NEVER, EVER CC: AN ORIGINAL BUG REPORT TO R-DEVEL. This particular thread ended up split over PR#6711 through PR#6717 for that reason. I see that some kind soul moved all of them to the trashcan, but when there is actual content in a thread, this effect gets really annoying. All bug reports are automagically copied to r-devel with the PR# attached. If you do a direct CC, the list will see two copies of the report. But not just that: some people will do a wide reply to the version without the PR#, and a copy of their response will get sent to r-bugs, where, since it has no PR#, it will be treated as a new report, but another copy without PR# is already sent to r-devel, where people will reply, etc., etc. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
