Editorial = Just "And here's the Belated Valentine's Day HWN! Motto: \"Remembering that you love someone three days after you were supposed to is better than not remembering at all.\"  Of course, it's late because I spent the weekend working on the Typeclassopedia (although you won't find a link to it in this HWN because I've only included things through Saturday).  Much Haskell love to all!",
