[R-sig-teaching] pros/cons of teaching attach()

[Joshua Wiley]

Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful replies.  I think I am inclined
not to use attach, but to bring it up and briefly mention some of the
mistakes that are easy to make.  If students already know/use attach,
it will at least be clear why I do not use it, and for students
unfamiliar with it, they should not be tempted to start.

Thanks again for all the responses!

Josh
