Hello everybody,

The R posting guide has also intersting guidelines, such as:

  When responding to a very simple question, use the following algorithm:
    - compose your response
    - type 4*runif(1) at the R prompt, and wait this many hours
    - check for new posts to R-help; if no similar suggestion, post your response
      (This is partly in jest, but if you know immediately why it is suggested,
      you probably should use it! Also, it's a nice idea to replace 4 by the number
      of years you have been using R or S-plus.)
