This is a reminder, perhaps redundant, that 
you are asked not to set up "out of office"
replies to Statalist. See 
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/statalist.html#vacation
Also an apology: I estimate that Marcello Pagano, 
the list maintainer, is himself "out of the office" at present: 
otherwise the person responsible for this run of messages
would have been removed summarily from Statalist.
