Hi, Ted: Thanks. This is one of many cases where poor quality may cost more than high quality: It requires roughly 60 time as much space to store a 13+ hour queue than a 13 minute queue. Best Wishes, Spencer Graves

Not to mention the fact that shorter queues will keep people from replying to something that was already answered. I think current r-help subscribers are unlikely to forget about paste(x, collapse=" ") for a while.... The queue would appear to be clearing now.
