Hey! We answer questions and write code for free, and you misrepresent
the population anyway:

    Maximum users seen in #haskell: 354, currently: 318 (97.8%), active: 53 (16.7%)
                                                                         ^^^^^^^^^^

In fact, a lot of your exploratory/introductory questions would be most
efficiently answered on irc. Do drop by!
