Are you pulling our legs?

Personally I haven't got a clue what you are asking.

Also, please note that r-help is a world wide "community" with hundreds 
of thousands of members.  (I am but one of this large and unruly mob.) 
It is not a single entity or "site".  (There is a formal organisation 
that runs the R show, but you are not really addressing this formal 
organisation.)

The URL that you refer to is a joke!  Apparently some idiotic Windoze 
antiviral software once identified the R executable for Windoze as being 
a virus.  This is not to taken seriously.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
