I wonder if we might all stop and take a deep breath at this point.  The 
debate is getting a little more heated than we're used to on this 
mailing list.

There's lots of great discussion going on, and sadly for myself I think 
I'm missing a lot of the fine details of the debate because of the 
volume.  So can I ask people to take a little more time when concocting 
their replies, read it over a couple of times, see if it can't be 
condensed a bit - and above all, let's be civilized.  This is Haskell, 
and we're proud of our community.

Cheers,
