You are my first real comment on this blog. My spam filter thought that you were Spam however. But don't think it is because your head looks like a can of meat, I think it was because you had two links in your comment. I knew it wasn't spam, however, because nowhere in your post did you mention buggery. Thanks for stopping by and I hope my mastications are amusing if not cerebral. Phil!

You made me laugh out loud. I have to say, I'm still a neophyte at R and have had to learn more than I originally wanted to about the package to write the Bridge to R. I'm more an architect than a statistician. If you check out http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/studio/Rinterface2.html you will read that SAS finally admits that they cannot stay cutting edge any longer in the statistical procs because their release cycles are so long. The next question becomes, how much longer can SAS hold out charging their exorbitant annual license fees when they admit they can no longer stay current in the field?
