Hi, I find a lot of the R-help email traffic overloads my inbox. My IT managers are not really happy for me to be subscribed to several high-traffic email lists. I don't want to lose my contact with the R-help emails, so I'm having to consider various ways of handling the traffic. Anyhow, I'm wondering how many people on the R-help email list would prefer that most of the traffic were in a newsgroup? In case your interested in that option, there is a group available at: The-R-Project-for-Statistical-Computing at googlegroups.com I think the subscription is through normal news group channels. The google search services on this group are nice too. This group is not divided into useful categories, like help, admin, develop etc., but it's not too difficult to create new groups for that. Best, Darren

Gabor G posted a list of the newsgroups here: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/75239.html recently.
