I simply said that beginner questions are more appropriate on a list created specifically for that purpose. You might argue what `beginner' means per-person basis but I don't think there's much to argue over in this very case. I simply pointed the OP to the list (and some resources) when he asked about it as he wasn't aware it existed.
John got more than a dozen answers _after_ he showed that he tried something. The post I was replying to simply had no visible attempt at a problem and it was something that is covered in pretty much every Haskell tutorial. I don't think my post was out of order at all and I don't understand why it sparked such an... energetic response - that wasn't my intent at all. - -- Mateusz K. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRkrPjAAoJEM1mucMq2pqXQhYP+gNCSbYgFJv6FhT14SpPH+4e XxSVEoH3Q1BHb9USJMPCmQmvITVfyDQmbDCyVxkwONFrMhFQjl9bLwjYiTVOlYFp NxtQi9WJi932PrrNWawflN6xBPGqtMVksRia1XEjHNhqOPUA6CslsyGzOjAtxq8L gzcreJXxj5mEcA3h8h1Ulm8145F4OO+iEyNzylmmmW8a2jerXJuLC0LYDcCLAGVN rUk3l6cn9UnicFdmcScO3btp5/vMuimaql/lZkULF2vscuiNvtAaNuasOMFmbZK8 EhVI7Oflj0upOmKDwlOWfavdbAFmB7baLyR7QUeg73399o2TLGGtVT9/hoqetkdZ 2JpwYiDqt/aw49ENOqVfZmj1QVOLRUGPBHZHytN4va8A9TfJ1+tGeZuBBBkLdJwR VnvTQE/moWC4HY8gSZq21vBy7QPT85+QD93mFbY9tvC5TB4Y/QuE4dvaNSSiyJS1 nm0pqlxV3hcpOtrgJqZSlafqoDVFNA+1lDCha//H9gRrXwpVNBxrB8ZViqkc90rQ ZLW6cpREF5i9oDE9tF+dAV0uByYmpstbCmHoO6uKzvYwZ7sdEKQATt1N5TIcvk23 IcQdTLP6AquW/qNBrqYRguDFxm40o7Mtu5ipc0A7viXad+j6rXmjnpisjAA5Hvt5 F1Hr108vtUwEVojmmuvm =gfod -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
