[R] Newsgroup

[Mark E. Hall]

It is actually much cheaper for me to download 37 messages than read
from the web.
Some of us have to pay dearly for our on-line time; newsgroups are damn
expensive in that case.  Clearly you don't live in a country that has
obscene phone rates like those here in Japan...:)

Best, MEH
