MATEUSZ,
There is nothing wrong with sending beginner questions to h-café! After all, a FRIENDLY community is for whom? For Simon PJ only?
Notice that "John" got more than a dozen answers, people TRY to help him anyway. ==
On the other hand, the original requester *should* have thought on:
1. Putting down in a concise, but explicit manner what was for him the expected result. And also: 2. Writing what were the errors signalled by the system.
But no, we had just "help!, nothing works". This should be avoided, some people are reluctant to analyze situations too obscure, even if one "almost-syntax" error was clear...

Sorry but I never said these questions don't belong here. I simply said that beginner questions are more appropriate on a list created specifically for that purpose. You might argue what `beginner' means per-person basis but I don't think there's much to argue over in this very case. I simply pointed the OP to the list (and some resources) when he asked about it as he wasn't aware it existed. John got more than a dozen answers _after_ he showed that he tried something. The post I was replying to simply had no visible attempt at a problem and it was something that is covered in pretty much every Haskell tutorial. I don't think my post was out of order at all and I don't understand why it sparked such an... energetic response - that wasn't my intent at all. - -- Mateusz K. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRkrPjAAoJEM1mucMq2pqXQhYP+gNCSbYgFJv6FhT14SpPH+4e XxSVEoH3Q1BHb9USJMPCmQmvITVfyDQmbDCyVxkwONFrMhFQjl9bLwjYiTVOlYFp NxtQi9WJi932PrrNWawflN6xBPGqtMVksRia1XEjHNhqOPUA6CslsyGzOjAtxq8L gzcreJXxj5mEcA3h8h1Ulm8145F4OO+iEyNzylmmmW8a2jerXJuLC0LYDcCLAGVN rUk3l6cn9UnicFdmcScO3btp5/vMuimaql/lZkULF2vscuiNvtAaNuasOMFmbZK8 EhVI7Oflj0upOmKDwlOWfavdbAFmB7baLyR7QUeg73399o2TLGGtVT9/hoqetkdZ 2JpwYiDqt/aw49ENOqVfZmj1QVOLRUGPBHZHytN4va8A9TfJ1+tGeZuBBBkLdJwR VnvTQE/moWC4HY8gSZq21vBy7QPT85+QD93mFbY9tvC5TB4Y/QuE4dvaNSSiyJS1 nm0pqlxV3hcpOtrgJqZSlafqoDVFNA+1lDCha//H9gRrXwpVNBxrB8ZViqkc90rQ ZLW6cpREF5i9oDE9tF+dAV0uByYmpstbCmHoO6uKzvYwZ7sdEKQATt1N5TIcvk23 IcQdTLP6AquW/qNBrqYRguDFxm40o7Mtu5ipc0A7viXad+j6rXmjnpisjAA5Hvt5 F1Hr108vtUwEVojmmuvm =gfod -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
