I apologize to everyone and specially to Matz for being rude while
remarking on a language feature.

I was a bit shocked by the "or" behaviour until Tom reminded me of the

If I thought Ruby sucked I wound't be using it and reading this list daily.

No. But that doesn't mean I can't give you a monkey if I want.
