R help - Dec 2003 - generic/method consistency

Hi,

I realize the answer is very likely in the section Generic functions and
methods  (or Adding new generics), but I'm not clear what to do with the
following.  Running R CMD check, I get the following warnings for my
generic functions.  Does this mean I need the argument

* checking generic/method consistency ... WARNING

leps:
  function(x, ...)
leps.default:
  function(x, pred, titl, plot)

reliability.plot:
  function(x, ...)
reliability.plot.default:
  function(x, obar.i, prob.y, titl, mod.names)

summary:
  function(object, ...)
summary.prob.bin:
  function(object)

Add '...' to the argument list of your methods.

Yes, and it is even set in italics (on the first page of section 6, page 
75) so that it is easy to find. It says:

  A method must have all the arguments of the generic, inlcuding the
  ... if the generic does.
