Perhaps there has now been enough discussion of whether such a list
is a good idea; it should now go ahead and prove its usefulness and
desirability (or not) in practice.

I also think that it would be very useful for more experienced R users,
if so inclined, to subscribe to it (I have done so).

As to questions going to the beginners' list rather than r-help,
the more experienced members could usefully propose that someone's
question would be a good one for r-help.

Let's see how it goes, and support Martin Wegman's initiative.

Best wishes to all,
Ted.
