I subscribe to the ruby-talk mailing list that is mirrored with
comp.lang.ruby, and I never saw your message. Also, a google search
reveals no postings made by you to comp.lang.ruby. Either you sent
your message somewhere else, or you never sent it at all. If that's
the case, I question your integrity and wonder if this post is
anything more than flame-bait.
