I have a better idea. Let's decide to do nothing. The
benefits of this
approach are: 1) it takes zero effort to implement, 2) the number of
people who immediately give up on Haskell from reading that is, I
suspect, neglible (actually I suspect it is zero; I think the
number of
people who actually read that at all is probably negligible),
and 3) it
accomplishes the same end as debating endlessly while
creating much less
list traffic.
Should we set up a haskell-marketing mailing list for people who still
have some passion (or merely stamina) for the discussion? Or is there a
lighter-weight way to take the discussion off-list/to another list?

This is a great idea! Other languages have advocacy mailing lists
and/or newsgroups. I think Haskell should have one too. I know if
there was one I'd be the first person not to subscribe ;-)
Mike, bored of these endless debates
