Didn't seem worth it. To be honest, I'm tired of getting flamed every 
single damn time I speak...

I think the majority of people there have... Apart from the university 
professors, anyway.

Well, I've posted about Haskell before, but I think those all expired 
now. I can put something up on one of the off-topic lists for ya if 
you'd like...? (Including how to set up an environment to play with.)

Yeah, well, that's just it, isn't it?

We've had this conversation plenty of times before. It keeps coming back 
to the fact that I have no clue what TO do. Because I have no prior 
experience to draw on. And - judging by the number of times it's been 
discussed - nobody can explain it to me either. Maybe it's something 
that can't be expressed in words, I don't know...

Anyway, I'm struggling along as best I know how. It's just not getting 
me very far. :-S
