R help - Jan 2012 - Nabble? Was Re: function to replace values doesn't work on vectors

Interesting: The email I received through the R-help list didn't have
all the information that was apparently there:

This function? Not in the original email as I received it, although it showed
up in Berend's reply.

I hope that it was a momentary glitch; greater disagreement between Nabble
and the email list will cause all sorts of fun. If the interface,
whatever it is,
starts stripping out code? I'll have to quit answering Nabble queries
entirely.

You know, that's a great suggestion.  I'm now filtering out all messages
with "nabble.com" in the Message-ID.
