so how are you finding this?
'sos' is an R package. I'm guessing you did not install and load 'sos'
before typing that command at the console. (You might be able to get
away without loading by using the double-colon maneuver.) That was not
a particularly well crafted search strategy IMO, given the number of
times that the word 'fit' or 'fits' will appear in statistical
documentation.
sos::findFn('fits')
found 2482 matches; retrieving 20 pages, 400 matches.
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
Nonetheless, it "worked". The browser page coming up from that search
had the package FITSio 25th line.
Better might have been:
> sos::findFn('fits astronomical')
found 4 matches; retrieving 1 page
Also: Why was my mailing list message rejected as a duplicate?
Because you posted two duplicate messages. One of them was forwarded
to the list.
I don't even understand how these underground subscriptions work, am
I off the mailing
list because it's a duplicate?
No. You were just notified in hopes that you would stop sending
duplicates. The list-server thinks you are a subscriber, but for some
reason it will keep on sending posting from new subscribers to the
moderation queue for the first 24 hours. That's not something that
moderator have control over. Don't complain, we don't like it either.
I don't understand the term "underground subscriptions". Mailing lists
can be public or private. Ours is rather public, having multiple
mirrors and search engines around the world. Our host university's
site-admins have installed fairly stringent filters in an effort to
prevent their domain from being automatically flagged as a source of
spam. Some domains like hotmail.com have a high probability of being
flagged for moderator review. Some posters from hotmail are on
perpetual review, despite being perfectly fine citizens.
