Thanks, _why. That's very kind of you to say. Not to turn this into a 
love-fest or anything, but your Poignant Guide was the inspiration for 
my Copland docs (at least, for their formatting and construction). It's 
a great way to use YAML.

Thank YOU for the YAML routines! It's an invaluable addition to the 
standard library. I've lately been trying to adopt YAML at work, as a 
replacement for 99% of our XML usage, but its tough... we use Java, and 
without a decent YAML parser for Java, the applications for YAML are 
limited to utility scripts that I've written in Ruby.

[off topic] Anyone know of a decent (read: on a par with syck) YAML 
parser for Java?
