I wonder if there is a way to mask the long list output of The following objects are masked from XXX(position 11): every time I call attach() function?

You may sometimes encounter the following message in R: The following objects are masked from 'package:stats': filter, lag. This message appears when you load some package in R that contains functions that share names with functions that are already loaded from some other package in your current environment.
Overview. The attach() method is used to access variables of a DataFrame without invoking any function or method. This method bypasses extensive built-in and directly attaches variables of a list or DataFrame to the search path.
The message means that both the packages have functions with the same names.
The with() function, or the data= argument to many functions, are excellent alternatives to many instances where attach() is tempting.
You use attach without detach - every time you do it new call to attach masks objects attached before (they contain the same names). Either use detach or do not use attach at all. Nice discussion and tips are here.
