I'm currently reading "FRP, Continued". Maybe I got confused by the text 
on page 56, which introduces a delay (noEvent --> addOrDelCTs) to avoid 
an infinite loop.

Yes that is a very interesting paper, but since I'm still trying to 
understand and use Yampa, I will have to re-read the paper.  It would be 
nice if Paul Hudak wrote a "Haskell HIGH School of Expression" book, 
explaining Yampa, because I really enjoyed the SOE book.
