Thread-topic: [S] March course @ 8 locations *** R/Splus Fundamentals and Programming Techniques
Glad to see that there was a site (Atlanta) that was in a 1000 mile
radius of Tampa.  I may have to start a Splus/R users group here in
Florida this summer.  

Is there some kind of heavy concentration of Splus users in New York,
San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C?  

I think insightful needs to do a better job at gaining a foothold in the
Sun Belt, otherwise known as the South!
