obviously, nitwit...ruby is the language that's native to japan.
we'll chalk that one up to the ambiguous nature of a natural
language, like english, as opposed to a contrived language
like perl. but, just as trolls can't read, perl people can't spell.
ok, i'm packing up my bags and calling it a day...i am happy
to have found some *intelligent* (if not particulary pleasant)
life on -language in your mr. john porter (sorry, simon...). ;-)
where to now? -meta..? where did that *gc* thread ever go!
btw - john porter, would you care to explain (off list is okay!)
this one comment of yours (please - use specific examples)
