As Jeff Gentry has noted (from the size of bioconductor) this
seems pretty (too!) astonishing.
I have checked, and from the 530 bioconductor subscribers, 112
are on R-help as well. The bug in the above counting: I got the
last number manually -- with a mistake -- where the 2659 comes
from a reliable perl script.
"3189" must be corrected down to "3055".
(as it says "Never trust a statistic, unless ...." :-)
okay, definitely getting late today..)
