I was about to >and then thought better of it. Well, I don't really mind right now, but thought I should get folks in the habit of posting stuff to ruby-talk, and I'll summarize on the wiki. That way, as we grow, things won't get too chaotic (well, they will for me, but not for the community ;) with everyone posting their own items to the wiki. > >There are three requests I have actually.

If, for some reason, you don't want to post with more detail, I'll try to summarize as best I can.
