It seems that hypatia.math.ethz.ch is hoarding messages
to the r-help list for up to 13 hours ... ?

Ted.

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.
