[R] Help

[Ben Bolker]

   I agree that the posting guide is due for updating.

   If the mailing list maintainers were willing I think r-consult might 
not be a terrible idea. I do think the center of gravity has moved to 
Cross Validated, and it might be minimally sufficient to point people 
there (or Math Overflow for probability/math questions) rather than 
starting a new group.

The posting guidelines point to "Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and probability)." Since Google announced [1] that Google groups will not support new usenet content starting tomorrow, would it make sense to have a r-consult mailing list or tag it [consult] on r-help?
