Just a reminder to all and sundry, especially
relatively new members of the list, that the
Statalist FAQ at
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/statalist.html
is a source of advice for posters. You are expected
to read this before sending your question to the list.
One detail being missed by quite a few people is this advice:
Edit mail so that readers see easily what the issue is
and what your contribution is. Please do not re-post the
whole of a very long message together with your
one-sentence tidbit. Please do not send a message by
replying to, but not editing out, someone else's message
on a different topic. Your mailer may have a facility to
select a block of text and then reply quoting only that text.
If you want people to give your question full consideration
-- and naturally you do -- please
give full consideration to their convenience too.
