Hi, Gabor:

          Sounds great.  May I suggest a minor modification something like the 
following;

 >    [email protected] mailing list
 >    https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
 >    PLEASE include in your post minimal, self-contained, reproducible 
code as suggested in posting guide, 
"www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html".  Posts more consistent with this 
standard tend to get quicker, more useful replies.

          I'd also suggest adding something like this to the Special Interest 
Group posts as well.  I also reply to questions on R-sig-finance, and I 
find myself going to R-help to copy the "PLEASE do read the posting 
guide" comment for r-sig-finance.

          Thanks for suggesting this.
