I'm not sure why you posted the original note.  I quit using SAS in 1991 and
haven't needed it yet.

I never saw the "original note" nor its resubmission.  Nor could I find it
in the R-help archives.

Is it just me?

Not that it really matters a damn --- I don't use SAS either --- I'm just
curious, and find the situation mysterious.

     cheers,

         Rolf

A link to Nabble was at the end of Frank's reply:

Probably not worth a read, though (especially because the message only
talks about... SAS, not R).

"Think Nabble" is correct, however, that wait will take infinite time on some posts. There is now an automatic censoring process for Nabble posts that resemble the signatures of prior spambot attacks on Rhelp. It was known that some innocent posts would be affected, including, unfortunately, some of the posts from our most valued members if they happen to be posting from Nabble at the time.  This eventuality was noted when those filters were installed. In this case Frank saw it on Nabble and gave a perfectly valid reply that was not censored.

The moderation queue was getting 20 or thirty postings that on cursory review were valid, but which turned out on investigation to be duplicates of prior Nabble-mediated posts and the only new content was bogus advertising. The  moderators were not volunteering to do investigation of all such posts.

Hey, that might make a great movie title: "The Curse of Nabble".
Starring, of course, Peter Lorre, Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff,
each of whom has at least one 'r' in his name.
