What's going on here is that laurendeason is using Nabble to send to
Statalist. That's fine for laurendeason, but I think it's a good
principle and good practice not to assume that everyone else does. The
reference to "you" is to a posting by Robert Picard which can be found
here:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2010-04/msg00723.html
After more than a year, it would have been helpful to copy the
original posting and not oblige anyone to go hunting for it, even if
the hunting is a mouse-click.
