A few days ago there was a thread on calling R from Delphi to which 
there were several useful responses.  Now I responded as well, with 
what I regard as a useful contribution.  Shortly after that, I was not 
able to able to see the thread in my newsreader (Thunderbird). 
Suddenly, yesterday I could see the thread again, and now it has 
vanished, at least from my sight.

Now.  Is there an error in my reader, or more likely, an error in my 
use of the reader.  Or, has the thread been deleted for some reason. 
I wonder ...

I use thunderbird as my newsreader and I see the thread just fine. So, 
don't worry, nobody has deleted what you regard as a useful contribution.

How are you reading R-help?

Fundamentally, R-help is email based, so once a mail is sent, only the 
receiver is involved in where it gets (mis)filed.

If you are using a mail-to-news gateway like gmane, then there could be 
an issue with retention times. However, in the case of gmane, I doubt 
that would be the case because the thread is here:

Well, using Thunderbird with a filter, throwing everything with [R] in 
the subject line into a category or box.
That's what I thought, so it may have something to do with my 
settings.  Strange, but I have never seen this before.
OK.  That's a relief.  I'll switch both mode "paranoid" and "wonder" 
to off and look at the settings of my mail program.  In any case, 
thank you!!

And by the way, your book is very nice for an R newbie like me.
