Some announcements, discussion openers, technical questions may not be
posted to haskell-cafe at haskell.org.  However, the idea (now at least) is
that if you are subscribed to haskell-cafe at haskell.org, you should (may
as well) be subscribed to haskell at haskell.org.  However, if you don't
want tbe drink from the firehose that is haskell-cafe at haskell.org you
can still keep track of announcements and such in haskell at haskell.org.
