Speaking for myslf, yes this would be interesting. Unlike many of the other 
lists to which I subscribe, people on the Ruby list, for the most part, are 
highlt capable of both multitaking and multithreading :-)

Sooo...discussions of various models, algorithmics, etc. are not unwelcome. 
Again, it appears that most of the people on this list, unlike many others, 
_do_ have delete capabilities in their email programs, something where Ruby 
users must have cornerd the market in that this function seems to be missing 
in a lot of other places. :-)

How many times have I read "I am not interested in this; it is OT; therefore 
it shouldn't be posted" on many other lists. IN the past, I have personally 
found moderately OT (relative to strictly OT posts) to be informative, 
provide depth and perspective, and sometimes be the _only_ posts that offer 
the answer to a given need. So yes, I welcome discussions of these things.

Heck, Hal Fulton was asking today if something is wrong with the server 
because the mail traffic is _down_! :-)
