Subject: [RsR] Tutorial: Introduction to Robust Statistics with R
Hey Martin, why do you read/write mails instead of watching the EM matches
(sorry)?! I do not care much about soccer too but just opened a bottle of
Portuguese wine to celebrate and would like to use the opportunity to
congratulate our Portuguese robastniks.

Conference

surprised to

Of course I did, therefore I allowed myself to pull your leg.

Then you should mention also MINVOL, ROBETH, COVINTER, PROGRESS which were
around for quite a long time so far and are in all caps too.
But seriously speaking, 'MASS' stroke my eyes and I am sure that this will
be what a newcomer will take home (the advantage of all caps you know, we
should rather have chosen ROBUSTBASE).
Best regards,
Valentin
