We agree that the absolute freedom to discuss the issue of how many angels could dance on the head of a pin is very important, but - must it hold on *this* list? The problem was there: the incapacity of Haskell to deal with the complexity of the floating-point computations. Important issue. Now you are juggling with infinities "as such", speculating on what are limits of non-converging sequences, etc. It becomes sad. Normal people - of course - just throw away all these messages without reacting. I react, because I feel that diluting an important problem in a scholastic discussion discourages people to think how to solve the true question... Jerzy Karczmarczuk
