This seems to me to be like the Oscar Wilde sketch where they are criticizing the King behind his back and every time they get caught redefine their words to turn the insult into praise in order to please him. They keep coming up with more and more outrageous insults making it harder and harder to figure out how to redefine them as praise. ______________________________________________ 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
