Dear Professor Siegman,
As you can see below the glass is half full on this one.
I understand your criticisms very well BUT it is amazing that in this
instance (as is often the case with Mathematica) if you have a leap of
faith and list the desired result ->{Thick, Dashed} for the second
line in PlotStyle then you are rewarded by getting what you want.
ListLogPlot[{Range[4], Range[4]/2}, Joined -> True,
PlotStyle -> {Thick, {Thick, Dashed}}]
ListPlot[{Range[4], Range[4]/2}, Joined -> True,
PlotStyle -> {Thick, {Thick, Dashed}}]
Best wishes ... Syd
