I am a recent Stata listserv user, a beginner (self-trained convert from
SPSS) Stata user, and a nonstatistician. I do think that this listserv
is a bit more "friendly" for more advanced Stata users who also have
expertise in statistics and programming. I have asked a few questions -
of which one has received a reply. I've asked these questions after
using the help and search commands, and looking on-line - Stata faq, and
other websites. I guess what I'd like to say is that everything is
relative. My questions - compared to the majority of questions would be
considered basic and probably inappropriate for this forum. On the
other hand, I have enough knowledge of Stata to help those just
starting out. I think maybe there should be more explicit information
on the target audience this listserv supports.
I have recently heard of a European Stata listserv for beginner Stata
users. I'm wondering if anyone has information that they can pass along
to those of us who do consider ourselves beginners and would like a
place that the 'basic' Stata question can be asked and answered
without too much angst.
I'm happy to use Stata - a true convert, I'm happy to receive e-mail
from this Statalist, and I immensely respect those of you who take so
much of your time and effort to help with the majority of questions
that are asked.
If someone does know of the beginner Stata listserv, please pass it along.
Respectfully,
Suzy
