Hahaha! Riiight...

(Wait - so you're saying if the rules were simpler, you *would* be 
playing it?)

Actually, that's not a bad analogy.

When the next revision of the Haskell language standard is released (due 
to be next year or so), *nobody* except me will actually know [or care] 
about it. :-(

Heh. This is apparently quite common... I've seen no end of websites for 
pipe organ builders. Some of these firms have been in business for 
centuries - yet their websites look like something from the Web 0.5 era.

Yeah, I'll bet!

I don't get any errors, it just loads very slowly. OTOH, there seems to 
be something strange going on with my home PC... I don't know if it's my 
actual Internet connection or just my copy of Firefox, but I'm noticing 
multiple websites being extremely slow lately...
