Hi. I have only recently become a regular R user, and have already benefited from the R-help list (Thank you!). I have spent many years in the SAS world (insert your own sassy remark here), which has its own very nice users list site (http://listserv.uga.edu/archives/sas-l.html), plus users groups at local, regional, and higher levels (http://support.sas.com/usergroups/intro.html). I've learned a lot and met many interesting folks at SAS users group meetings. So now I'm wondering whether there are local R users groups, specifically in the New York City metropolitan area. I would like to join such an NYC-based organization, if it exists. Otherwise, if there are any R users in the NYC area who'd like to form a local R users groups, I'd happily help to spearhead such an effort. -- TMK -- 212-460-5430 home 917-656-5351 cell
