Unfortunately the functional programming literature makes it sound really complicated by talking about monads and category theory. However, all that mathematical guff can be safely ignored unless you want to do wizardly stuff like optimising passes in the Haskell compiler itself. Actually, IO is very easy to do in Haskell.

Something converted my ordinary quote characters to curly quotes - perhaps this happened before Textile had its go, and Textile doesn't recognise the curly quotes. Coming along this evening, Sam?

I've turned auto-link off for now (will have to fix up the old comments) so it should work.

See also "The principle of least privilege":http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/archives/000528.html . BTW, I'm not sure that textile is working properly on your site - that should have been a link, I think. It worked OK in the textile page.
