Not a problem at all. I figured the motley crue here couldn't be bracketed into narrow categories. An apparent thesis demonstrated here would be that we all speak a slightly different form of English. :) On Wednesday, December 16, 2015, peter dalgaard <pdalgd at gmail.com> wrote:> > > On 16 Dec 2015, at 17:42 , Hadley Wickham <h.wickham at gmail.com > <javascript:;>> wrote: > > > > On Wed, Dec 16, 2015 at 9:34 AM, Hadley Wickham <h.wickham at gmail.com > <javascript:;>> wrote: > >> On Tue, Dec 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM, Martin Maechler > >> <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch <javascript:;>> wrote: > >>> > >>> > >>> [............] > >>> > >>>> You are missing the closing bracket on the boxplot() > >>>> command.
