I guess when somebody as important as Don says something, you take notice...
Specifically, Don really wants you to get off of the mailing list and
ask all these questions on IRC; he's been trying to hint this to you for
a while. My extreme social cluelessness allows me to explain it to your
face. (not that I agree with him; IRC is not well suited to things
requiring long explanations like "what is a quantifier")
True. And IRC also has the limitation that you only access the people
who are logged in right *now*...
On the other hand, IRC has the advantage that if somebody goes into a
long explanation and you didn't really understand step #2 there, you can
ask them to stop and go back to that part without having them write a
huge explanation that you won't understand anyway... so they both have
advantages. (And then there was that time I tried to use a release of
Gtk2hs which, unknown to me, was brand new and had a small installer
glitch in it... Mr Coutts was most helpful on that one.) And let's not
forget Lambdabot... LOL!
(Everybody in the main forum I inhabit has now taken to auto-deleting any
post that mentions the word "Haskell". Except for Mr C++, who seems to seek
out such threads so he can tell me how superior C++ is to Haskell...)
Try not to care what other people think.
LOL! If only that were in fact physically possible...
Is it OK to quote xkcd in responce to this one?
