A gentle request ... Quite a few people have been sending me questions about microarray data analysis to my individual email address. Please, please, please come through the Bioconductor mailing list. I hate to say no, especially to hard-working biologists who are trying to make sense of microarray informatics, but it really isn't possible to offer a private (and unpaid and uncredited) consulting service to everyone. Your best chance of getting a response from someone really is to post to the mailing list, that's what it's for. I expect that other Bioconductor authors take a similar point of view. Thanks Gordon
