Evidence: 

  1.  24 e-mails to the r-help list in a little over an
hour, which is excessive even for a real person.
  2.  The questions range extremely widely, especially for
a beginner in R.
  3.  All of the questions include a

line, which I'm guessing was a spam-link that got filtered
by the mailing list software.

  4. At least two of the questions are exact duplicates of old questions.

  Could a list moderator see about banning them?
  (If rahul143 is a real person with real statistical questions,
perhaps it could explain itself ...)
