I have been annoyed by this at times as well. However, I have come to suspect that it is actually the mailer (computer program) rather than the sender (human being) that is doing this. It appears that _sometimes_, depending on the phase of the moon and the water levels in lake Wivenhoe, as well as may be other circumstances, a wide reply gets sent as two separate mails, one to the original sender and another to the Cc: list. Of course, with the familiar effect that you follow-up in a private mail, only to see the question going public an instance later. By principle, I rarely do follow-ups in private, so it is not that much of an issue for me. > Frank > > > ----- > Frank Harrell > Department of Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/predict-lrm-Design-package-tp2546894p2547011.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > 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. -- Peter Dalgaard Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
