[R] Crete stats course

[Michael Dewey]

Well since you mention it the mailing list page says

The ‘main’ R mailing list, for discussion about problems and solutions 
using R, announcements (not covered by ‘R-announce’ or ‘R-packages’, see 
above), about the availability of new functionality for R and 
documentation of R, comparison and compatibility with S-plus, and for 
the posting of nice examples and benchmarks.

Which suggests to me that announcements of courses are not covered by 
the terms and conditions.
