[R-sig-ME] Lack of replies from me

[Renaud Lancelot]

Dear Douglas,

As a long-time user of nlme and lme4, and more generally your numerous 
and invaluable contributions and support to the R community, I feel very 
sad after your message. I hope a better solution will be found for you 
and all of us , and I wish to bring you all my sympathy and support.

Best wishes,

Renaud
