Your contributions, and those of nearly 50 other contributors, have yielded the most effective and modern web presence that Haskell has ever enjoyed.

</span>I meant his contributions within the committee, not generally.<br>

</span>I deleted several tweets from that day, because I felt I was becoming<br>
