I haven't been able to see how it makes sense to subscribe to haskell@ 
but not haskell-cafe -- because if a discussion interested you, and went 
in-depth, you might want to be able to read the whole thread!  (It is 
possible to read the archives, but that doesn't help if you're inspired 
to _reply_ to the thread...)
