Subject: Poll Results

Thanks to everyone who responded!  The results:

Answers to Q1 ("Do you use Ruby in your 'day job'?"):
a ("Yes, Lots!"):  21 (30%)
b ("Some."): 16 (23%)
c ("I little bit when I can get away with it."): 23 (33%)
d ("I wish!"): 8 (11%)

The "d" tally includes one from a lua user who is happy not to use
ruby.  I apologize for the biased wording.

As mentioned elsewhere, the showing for "a" is encouraging!  If any of
you "a" people have openings in Dallas, please email me! :)
