Nabble's relationship to Rhelp? Nabble is an ongoing annoyance to the regular users and to the list moderators. It's web display format deceives naive users (who usually fail to read the Posting Guide as they were directed) into thinking everyone sees what they see, and so they often fail to maintain the context of the discussion. Many regular contributors simply ignore the content from Nabble-originated postings. > Again, the best way to provide proper advice is to actually quote to portion > of the website you are sending people to, i.e., "To post a message to all > the list members, send email to r-help@r-project.org." > > But this still doesn't address the issue of why that is necessary in the > first place.

Nabble lies. It is not an archive. I periodically get notices telling me that my old posts are going to be dropped. The real archive is: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/ Nabble does forward messages to Rhelp and if a message passes the spam filters and the human moderators, it gets posted. Nabble then strips off the footers from the returned messages. If you want to complain about Nabble not living up to your expectations, you should contact them. We did not ask them to mirror Rhelp. You are expected to know how to control your own mail-client. Expecting us to educate you on the basics of computer use is unreasonable. > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Daily-Category-Revenue-Stacked-Bar-Chart-in-ggplot2-tp4710431p4710549.html > R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
