[cc-ed to haskell@, as this discussion is about [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are four things sent to the haskell list@ 1) Calls for papers 2) Annoucements 3) Oleg's stuff (which are really announcements of a library or technique) 4) Off topic stuff I'm initially only proposing to mop up category

Hi Forgive me, but I would much prefer a newsgroup to a mailing list. True, I could unsubscribe now and just browse the mailman archives - but for posting, I'd have to temporarily re-subscribe, which is awkward. (Indeed that's the only reason I'm not doing it.) I believe you can post from

Sorry guys for joining the thread of sinners on haskell@ today. Forgot to check if guests had not moved to cafe;-) It is a good example though how insufficient this verbal principles are, since I have myself raised the need to revise names of the lists here. On second thought, with rising
