Hello,
Is there a web version of this R-Help user group (such as
the ones under Google Groups) such that
1. I can do a search on any topic over thousands of posts on R easily
and effectively
2. My mailbox do not overflow with emails so that I do not need to
edit it every day
3. I can arrange to receive only the responses to my posts
automatically
4. The content of the post might be better formatted for more
information other than just the text (we now have HTML!)
5. I can attach pictures to my posts for questions related to plots,
results etc. be quick and effective rather than just links to other sites
Sincerely,
Cem Girit

It's not going to make you any friends unless you learn to post in plain text AND to include context ... too often not done by Nabble users. Gmane is also a possible website that can mirror rhelp.> > 1. I can do a search on any topic over thousands of posts on R > easily > and effectivelyYes, several.

Your unwillingness to do any extra work to educate yourself is duly noted. Speaking only for myself, I will NOT respond to any of your further posts because of your demonstrated privileged attitude. It would not bother me if other regular readers followed my example.> > 4.

Such a resource would no longer be R-help. You might like stackoverflow.

Cem,
Thanks for your comments.
1. <http://cran.r-project.org/> and select Search in the left-hand
panel.
2. Use a filter to funnel r-help into it's own area and review as
desired.
3. I find that there are many posts that have been quite
educational and have helped me with analyses.
4. Although HTML produces pretty posts many of us don't find that
the information content is increased.
5. Yes, a picture is often worth 1K words and I'll agree there are
times when they are needed. However, mailbox size (a picture is
often 10K words or more) may be more important than number of
messages. Reproducible code usually is sufficient to demonstrate
the problem.
