P.S. I encourage people to use the online forums: Haskell Reddit and Stack Overflow, as a lot of the question-answering activity has shifted there now, away from -cafe@

Err, Why?

Having to track three places for information rather than one doesn't seem like a good swap to me...

+ 1

+1; I see no need to sign up for a reddit account to ask a question there, etc.

Another +1. I always find it painful to sign up for yet another account on yet another web service. No, I have no OpenID account, nor am I planning to create one. Also I strictly refuse to go to Reddit or StackOverflow. I agree that having to track three independent sites is stupid and not in any way productive. Mailing lists and newsgroups share one very desirable property: They are independent of the design choices of a single entity, whereas in Reddit and StackOverflow the webmasters choose what's supposed to be good for you. To say that by not going to Reddit/StackOverflow you miss a lot of information is almost like propaganda, a cheap way to enforce one's preferences. A professional community member should never say such a thing. Personal opinion. Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://ertes.de/
