Dear Juel,

The R lists are automated, and while there is probably someone with access
to remove particular subscribers, it is generally easier to UNSUBSCRIBE to
them.

I believe Jim was on several lists. The full collection is at https://www.r-project.org/mail.html

The main help list can be unsubscribed as described at the bottom of most
postings:
______________________________________________
R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

There is also the package-devel list, which can be unsubscribed at

https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel

Similarly https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

I am copying this to the R-help list to inform other users so hopefully you
don't get multiple similar messages. So you will likely see the msg copied
there before you manage to unsubscribe.

With condolences,

John Nash

As (R mailing lists) *Site* maintainer, I can remove subscribers
from all lists at once.

I have done so with Jim's e-mail (above).
The result was that the address was unsubscribed from
R-help  and  R-package-devel, no others.

Jim Lemon has been one of the frequent really *friendly*
and patient "helpers" to many who have searched for support and
help on the R mailing lists (R-help and R-package-devel, see above).
His death is indeed a loss to the R community.

Best regards,
Martin
