What I tried to say here was: Reports of user errors do not belong on R-bugs. A request on R-help would have been more likely to generate a useful, friendly and widely shared reply/discussion. > The problem I see is that you (as a representative for the r-project) > are the wrong person to judge the success or failure of the > documentation.

What I tried to say here was: The main problem is neither the software nor the documentation, but the way you use it and interpret its results. > Expecting a package's developer to judge documentation is > like asking a bald man to judge which comb is best.

Because you did not report a bug. Furthermore, I thought I could give you a helpful pointer to other solutions to your problem. FYI: Meanwhile, R-core has signalled that they would add a cross reference to vcd in this case. Hence, I'll suggest a documentation patch to R-core.
