Cem,

Thanks for your comments.

1.  <http://cran.r-project.org/> and select Search in the left-hand 
panel.

2.  Use a filter to funnel r-help into it's own area and review as 
desired.

3.  I find that there are many posts that have been quite 
educational and have helped me with analyses.

4.  Although HTML produces pretty posts many of us don't find that 
the information content is increased.

5.  Yes, a picture is often worth 1K words and I'll agree there are 
times when they are needed.  However, mailbox size (a picture is 
often 10K words or more) may be more important than number of 
messages.  Reproducible code usually is sufficient to demonstrate 
the problem.

Clint
