[datatable-help] fread'ing logicals

Thanks for the quick response.

As for the "learning curve" stuff -- no real comment there, but:

Could you provide some concrete examples about which changes have
stumped users? Perhaps we can learn from these critiques. I had
thought we were pretty good about discussing any (breaking) changes on
list, but I'd be interested to see where this has failed so it might
perhaps be avoided in the future.

Still curious to hear what radical changes have come down the pipe.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Cheers,
