The reason, I unsubscribed from MySQL list was: I was getting to many mails that I was not able to control them and also there had very few mails I was interested in. I am not very much dedicated in any forum like many unlike few. Can you imagine what will happen after 1 year or future. There will have more dedicated people in the forum than less dedicated people like me. I don't expect it as a ruby programmer. I am just trying to see this issue a new rubyist. -- Mohammad Khan Legal Computer Solutions, Inc.
