The email address was revealed to the Haskell committee one moonless night when they sacrificed Simon Peyton Jones in an unholy ritual that they reenact every year at the monadic.party. The present-day SPJ is actually a decoy hired by FP Complete to preserve the illusion that anyone in the community even has a clue as to how to build working software.```
