[R] Why is the R mailing list so hard to figure out?

[Robert Wilkins]

Why does the R mailing list need such an unusual and customized user interface?

Last January, I figured out how to read Usenet mailing lists ( or
Usenet groups ) and they all pretty much work the same, learn to use
one, you've learned to use them all ( gnu.misc.discuss ,
comp.lang.lisp , and so on ).

What's the best way to view and read discussions in this group for
recent days? Can I view the postings for the current day via Google
Groups?

I hope I'm posting correctly.

What does "ethz" and "ch" stand for? Is "ch" for Switzerland?
