[R] R reports

[r.ookie]

I agree, instead of burning this guy, why not convert him? He may forever resent R because of the hostility he's experienced here.

Some people have had negative comments towards me simply because I've asked an obvious question but it has not affected me whatsoever. However, the negativity could have affected me if I didn't know what I wanted to get from here.

I know there are some really smart people here but it amazes me as to how childish some smart people can be.

Peace.

Just write your own report() function, or pay someone to write it for
you. But please stop complaining (so loudly) about a product that you
don't pay for. Good grief

PS As for philosophical aspects, you might want to look at this:
require(fortunes)
