From my perspective, one person was just being a bit silly at me, and one person had no idea what I was talking about (I assumed it was someone who was subscribed but hadn't been actively learning).
Then I didn't check my email for the next three messages.
So it wasn't exactly "lots of people".

mea culpa
Hmm, more lojban, eh? ;) Seriously, no need to apologize, it was an innocent mistake and we all do stuff like this on occasion. At least I know I do.
I hope you all got a good laugh at my expense.
The funniest part (to me) was that you didn't realize what you had done even when lots of people on the "lojban-beginners" mailing list were very confused. =)
Anyway, since we are already off-topic, I will highly recommend the book "Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error", by Kathryn Schulz (for everyone, not just you) which gives some fascinating perspectives on incidents such as this one.

beyond that.
Yes, I was poking some light-hearted fun at you for sending (mistakenly, I presume) a lojban question to a Haskell mailing list. =)
