Sorry to spam you Jeff, again I sent my email to the poster rather than the 
list.  I'm using Yahoo beta webmail and don't see a way to set it to reply to 
the list rather than the originator.  Anyway, this was my post:

Hence the need to perform a "run" operation like runIdentity, evalState or 
runParser (for Parsec) to get something useful to happen.  Except for lists we 
don't seem to do this.  I suppose lists are so simple that the operators :, ++ 
and the [] constructor do all we ever need with them.  Finally there is no 
runIO because "main" is essentially that function in every real program? - Greg

Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Explaining monads



One general intuition about monads is that they represent
computations rather than simple (already computed) values:
