As long as R stayed in Ross and Robert's computer lab, R could be perfectly clean and beautiful. [...]
The moral of the story is that if you want to create a beautiful language, for god's sake don't make it useful.

You say yourself it wasn't reproducible. So it could have been anything that "crashed" your R, cosmic radiation, a bolt of lightning reversing a bit in your computer memory, ... :-)

Sean Davis: It got me going quickly with S4 methods, which it seems to me are the way to go in most cases.
Rolf Turner: If you want to simultaneously handcuff yourself, strap yourself into a strait jacket, and tie yourself in knots, and moreover write code which is incomprehensible to the human mind, then S4 methods are indeed the way to go.
-- Sean Davis and Rolf Turner (expressing different views about the benefits of S4 classes)

Jeff Newmiller's rhelp/ggplot strategy checklist:
> Reproducibility == good (except for mixing in invalid code and failing to set RNG seed)
> HTML email == bad
> Missing subject == bad
> Using matrices with ggplot == pushing a rope
> Using for loops to build a ggplot == missing the point
> Using wide-form data with ggplot == pushing a rope
-- Jeff Newmiller (in response to a somewhat involved ggplot2 question)

Have you ever wanted to write a book, but not known where to start? Now is a very good time to jump in, because there is currently a very simple recipe for success: just put R in the title and you will have to beat the publishers off with a stick!

There are companies whose yearly license fees to SAS total millions of dollars. Then those companies hire armies of SAS programmers to program an archaic macro language using old statistical methods to produce ugly tables and the worst graphics in the statistical software world.
