Thanks Paul! That's exactly the kind of help I need. It's a big thing to know that the output from the map step is ordered; that has quite a big impact.

Will try it out next week (when I'll have finished this R course).

No, you probably wouldn't have the same life, but that IMO is not the same as not having equal opportunity, a tougher route maybe, but still opportunities are not actively blocked by authorities. I think what you are arguing is a lack of equal possibilities (in the lack of a better word) or maybe a lack of equal access, in which case I agree, equality is an (undesirable ?) utopia.

That said, in contrast to US, Europe (and especially my region) is approaching equal possibilities too.

Re: Ologeez. Is this the paper discussion site we were looking for?

Yes, it does. Until (if ever) this is a success however, Blogger is a time-effective solution for me. I am nevertheless grateful for any suggestions on other platforms, hosting alternatives, web-design solutions etc.
