I agree with you that emails lists are not the place for those who cannot read.

It is true the way you use general lists is not our business, but the
R-help list is a community and there are community rules.  One of
those is not to ask questions that are primarily about a lack of
statistical understanding (although they are not strictly prohibited).
 Your original post suggests that you knew this, "I know there is
plenty of people in this group who can give me a good answer :)" but
chose to ignore it.  Despite this, Bert was generous enough to give
you some suggestions, perhaps not what you wanted but useful tips
nonetheless.

You may ask many times, but failing to follow guidelines and thinly
veiled profanity are unlikely to endear you to the people here who can
offer useful suggestions.  Further, to me, your comment below falls
under the, "Ad hominem comments are absolutely out of place."  Note
that no loop hole or pass is given for the behavior of other parties.
That is, ad hominem comments do not become "in place" if someone else
is rude enough or makes them first.

Regarding your suggestion that the list be split into a "beginner" and
"advanced" list, while that is one option, your original question was
appropriate for neither.  It was, however, very appropriate for a
statistics list (e.g., http://stats.stackexchange.com/).

To me, this is extremely offensive.  Disagreements are inevitable, but
we can strive to keep them civil.

I agree with Rolf Turner's idea that it would be nice if there was a
mechanism to limit these sorts of posts.

Sincerely,
