Yes, of course. Lets all post viruses to run on each others' machines. That will teach those users who don't run antivirus and backup software between each posting to r-help. Also if they are running large data sets whose processing takes time to recreate they should be checkpointing everything at all points during the development. And what about those misguided Bayesians who are running those long MCMC simulations. Let them just rerun them from the start. Its really all their fault anyways. They should have known better. :) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
