Warning: Something of a personal rant, clearly reflecting my own hangups, and having nothing to do with my company or anyone else! A good reason for most to stop reading now....
While you will find respondents on this list on the whole quite gracious in their willingness to help newbies learn R, there are limits to this patience. In particular, questions of the sort below seem to me, at least to be clear announcements that the original poster has **not** read the posting guide, nor has made an honest attempt to learn R by studying what I think is quite good basic documentation (see, for example, "An Introduction to R"; CRAN lists many more similar resources). While I grant that sometimes the online help is a bit terse, I don't think that anyone who has made an honest attempt to read the basic docs would ask such questions. If I am wrong in this, I apologize. But, if not, then I consider the questions unworthy of my time to respond to. Whether right or wrong, queries posted in a way that conveys that impression are less likely to elicit good replies. I guess the moral is that on this list anyway, good behavior is rewarded, and bad behavior is ignored.
