And yet this is inconsistency remains regardless: people use different aliases on IRC to the mailing list to Hackage (though I think this is mainly because they have old IRC nicks they still use for internal consistency). > I've been over this thread and couldn't see anywhere where you'd made > an attempt to refute these arguments, so I guess you take them as > solid.

A stalemate occurs when people disagree rather than one side having more compelling arguments. For example, I understand and respect your arguments; I just don't find them compelling enough (since I find it a pain trying to match up different nicks, etc.; though this is to do with the inconsistency you mention above). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
