	My sediments exactly! :-)

	The R-help forum frequently digresses into issues that are
	not fundamentally R-related.  Subscribers can participate
	in such discussions or ignore them as they choose.  I personally
	often find such discussions very interesting and enlightening.

	(Although I must admit that the current thread about SVMs leaves
	me --- personally --- cold.  I think that SVMs are a load of dingos'
	kidneys.  As I may have said on this list previously, I think
	fortune("machine learning") is relevant.)
