I think this depends on the situation. There is a big difference between "I am having some trouble with this homework problem. This is what I did. Could someone give me some tips? Thanks" and "How do I write a map function in Haskell?" For the first case, I would vote for D and/or E as appropriate. For the second case, I vote for (F) Ignore. -- Matthew Donadio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
