[BioC] rma and SNOMAD, second thought

[Rafael A. Irizarry]

you sure can. but turn off the normalization and background correction 
on snomad. the normalization because you already normalized and the 
background correction beacuse affy expression measures dont have locations 
(they are averages of probe intensitites from various locations)
