Sorry but I never said these questions don't belong here. I simply
said that beginner questions are more appropriate on a list created
specifically for that purpose. You might argue what `beginner' means
per-person basis but I don't think there's much to argue over in this
very case. I simply pointed the OP to the list (and some resources)
when he asked about it as he wasn't aware it existed.

John got more than a dozen answers _after_ he showed that he tried
something. The post I was replying to simply had no visible attempt at
a problem and it was something that is covered in pretty much every
Haskell tutorial.

I don't think my post was out of order at all and I don't understand
why it sparked such an... energetic response - that wasn't my intent
at all.
