[R] Unsigned Posts; Was Setting graphical parameters

Folks:

Rolf's (appropriate, in my view) response below seems symptomatic of an
increasing tendency of posters to hide their identities with pseudonyms and
fake headers. While some of this may be due to identity paranoia (which I
think is overblown for this list), I suspect that a good chunk of it is lazy
students trying to beat the system by having us do their homework. The
etiquette of this list has traditionally been, like the software, open: we
sign our names. I would urge helpeRs to adhere to this etiquette and ignore
unsigned posts.

Contrary views welcome, either via public or private responses.

Do your own <expletive deleted> homework!

It looks pretty trivial; what's your problem?
