Re: [R] Newsgroup

[Kjetilh Halvorsen]

Hola!

This topic has arised before, since then I larned about google groups, but 
it is still a fact that there are no newsserver (google or otherwise) on 
this continent, and reading newsgroups is little more than waste of time. 

With a mailing list I can  take down all mail, and close telephone 
connection, reading offline.

I vote strongly against a newsgroup!
