Bonjour,


Quelle magnifique nouvelle.


Nous ne serons malheureusement pas disponible avant le 30 novembre car nous partons ce vendredi pour un mois de vacances dans nos familles respectives.Nous serions potentiellement disponibles demain ou jeudi mais j'imagine que cela n'est pas du tout compatible avec votre planning.

Est ce qu'il serait possible de vous rencontrer en d�cemb ou est ce que notre absence risque de nous causer pr�judice pour la place en

Dear Christian

If your vignette attaches another package that exports a �results� function, after it attached SNPhood which defines its own results function, then the R interpreter has no other choice than doing what it does.

Other people adding additional functionality to their packages is probably not something one can really complain about, so I see three options
- you use SNPhood::results in your vignette
- you don�t attach the other package, and rather just use what you need from it using �::�
- you convince Herv� to add �results' to BiocGenerics and everyone who exports such a function converts it to a method for that generic.

Thank you and kind regards
Wolfgang
