RE: Re: st: intervention analysis: apologies and second try

Statalist is intended for beginners too.

The point is mainly that beginners often ask questions that are 
difficult to answer. Your first question was difficult to answer; your
second question got much better answers.

Also, _some_ beginners _some times_ appear to treat the list as a
way of not thinking or of not doing any work themselves. That's
difficult for more experienced users to admire or accept. Of course,
guessing what lies behind a particular posting is difficult.

Don't be put off by your first venture on the list.

Ok, I will wear sackcloth and ashes, but I did not know about "scirus".

I promise not to bother this group with uninformed questions any more.
In fact I am now sure that the group is not intended for beginners.

Thank you very much for your help.
