 You also posted this on StackOverflow (broken URL to make Gmane
happy, sorry): <http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/129592/
2-factor-factorial-model-with-random-factors>. While cross-posting
between SO and R mailing lists isn't explicitly forbidden, I think
it's polite to indicate you've done so/cross-link. On SO, I
asked for more information -- not all of us have immediate access to
Montgomery's book (maybe you can provide a Google books link if the
text is accessible that way?).

  SO or r-sig-mixed-models at r-project.org are probably more appropriate
follow-up venues.
