Dear Dr. Murray Finkelstein,
In response to your message
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-11/msg00813.html
You can't use the word "From" at the beginning of any sentence otherwise the
Statalist parser hosted by StataCorp will cut the message at that point,
split your message in two, delete that line and post two separate messages.
I surmise that given that you used the word "From" in the very first
sentence, the parser discarded one of the two pieces as empty.
Why in the world does it do that? Rather than add this info to the FAQ -
could the Statalist parser be changed???
