Not at all. A bug report may be naive, or even wrong, and still be driven by good will, and be rightly interpreted as an attempt at a contribution to both the R community and R developers. The lack of respect only exists in the head of susceptible developers. Some of them are nevertheless admirable for their expertise, commitment and contributions. The truth is that, deep down, _nobody_ is perfect. Tolerance and kindness usually are more fruitful attitudes, not only on the R lists, but everywhere. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
