Re: Before you post: a reminder

[Rafal Raciborski <rafal.raciborski@emory.edu>]

I may note that Statalist is very cultured and polished as compared to, 
let's say, the R-help list where you may hear an occasional "rtfm."  
While I am not in favor of applying this policy to Statalist, some 
postings do abuse/take advantage of the generosity of its members.
