[R] R-help google group

[Vincent Nijs]

I made a google group archive of current and future R-help posts at
http://groups.google.com/group/r-help-archive

If you are signed-up for the R-help mailing list with a gmail account you
can reply to posts through the google group pages. Note that this is not a
separate mailing-list, just a copy of the original. Only posts after
December 3rd 2007 will be available.

I assume there are no objections to this. In case I am wrong please let me
know.

Vincent
