It's definitely on comp.lang.ml. Google must be slow. See, e.g. mailgate. http://www.mailgate.org/comp/comp.lang.ml/ It's not yet appeared on comp.lang.functional, either on google or mailgate. I see it twice on our newsserver here, but I don't trust that ours is set up to send it anywhere. I'll try posting to comp.lang.functional via mailgate.
