gently reacts to an inacceptable response of Mr. <font
style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif" size="2">Ali Benzerbadj </font>addressed
to Ivan Perez and the Haskell language communities, concerning
sending irrelevant messages to our mailing lists. Jeremy writes:<br>

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.</div>

<p>Jeremy, please... It is plainly obvious that Mr. A.B has no idea
what Haskell is... :<br>

<p>I send a copy of my posting to Mr. Benzerbadj, since I am certain
that he doesn't read <b><i>any </i></b>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!)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Speaking about gratitude...<br>
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!</p>
<p>Also, the tracks:<br>
- Context-awareness and Multimodal Interfaces<br>
- Human Computer Interaction<br>
- Smart Environments and Applications<br>
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.</p>
