Whoa, Andrew, you really can predict the future!!!  Any stock market tips?

On a more serious note, "Download Haskell" /= "Download Haskell Platform", so 
if I were glancing down the sidebar looking for a link to download the "Haskell 
Platform" then the first link wouldn't have registered for me.  And putting a 
"X has been released link!" in the news does not count as a prominent download 
link.

Furthermore, when someone offers feedback designed to improve a page, and does 
so in a very non-threatening way:

... then in my own humble opinion, snapping back with "Are you sure this isn't 
user error?" is not a particularly nice response.
