[Haskell-cafe] STOP THESE PATHOLOGIES... [Was: ANT 2024 CFP (December 4, 2023 ... etc.]

Le 27/11/2023 à 10:21, Jeremy Gibbons gently reacts  to an inacceptable response of Mr. Ali Benzerbadj addressed to Ivan Perez and the Haskell language communities, concerning sending irrelevant messages to our mailing lists. Jeremy writes:

I don’t see that any of these are “related to Haskell”. Has there ever been any paper mentioning Haskell at any of these conferences? Do their calls for papers mention functional programming? If these conferences are not “related to Haskell”, then their announcements do not belong on the Haskell mailing list.

== Jeremy, please... It is plainly obvious that Mr. A.B has no idea what Haskell is... :

I send a copy of my posting to Mr. Benzerbadj, since I am certain that he doesn't read */any /*of numerous lists, where he dumps his spam. Otherwise he would recognize that Haskell is the name of a programming language, and the Mystical Administrator and the Spirit of all those lists is called Curry (well, I know that in Algeria people ignore Curry, because they employ more powerful spices, e.g.,   Ras-El-Hanout, but a university lecturer and Publicity Chair of a world-wide conference in Belgium, should be more cosmopolitan!) BTW, the staff of the advertised conference is very, very international, you will find therein even some Belgians, for example Ansar-Ul-Haque Yasar, Muhammad Adnan, and  Ibad Kureshi. I believe that they could have helped  Mr. Benzerbadj with the selection of the mailing lists which would accept his announcements with true joy, gratitude, and enthusiasm. Speaking about gratitude... We should thank Mr. Benzerbadj for the broadcasting of news about this important conference, which covers many fascinating and cutting-edge  domains! I was particularly interested by the last item: "General Track", whose name already promises a world-changing revolution! Also, the tracks:  - Context-awareness and Multimodal Interfaces  - Human Computer Interaction  - Smart Environments and Applications are for me of paramount importance, seriously! For example, the context-aware interaction between your humble servitor and my laptop, encouraged me to install a really smart environment, which permitted my multimodal interfaces to filter away and throw to Limbo (Jahannam, Gehenna, etc., choose your favourite place) all messages by Mr. Benzerbadj [and similar], so I couldn't even know that he became a Person of Interest.
