1. No comment on original garbled HTML code.

2. Comment on: "... Within your last statement it appears you are
trying to find the sum of a logical vector - is.na(). This is what is
causing the error."

That is false:

> sum(rep(c(FALSE,TRUE),3))
[1] 3

Please do read basic R documents -- this is about automatic coercion
-- before dispensing false advice.
