MINSWAN Jeremy McAnally recently brought that up on the rails-talk list when someone complained about yet another repeat of the recent newbie question about why the tutorial in AWDWR doesn't work with Rails 1.2.x. Few understood it. Interestingly enough, although the rant in question seems to be more about the Rails community than the Ruby community, all of the discussion of this seems to be Ruby-talk. I'm not sure I've even seen it mentioned on Rails-talk. I guess those of us who are rubyists at heart first, and perhaps rail-roaders second, have thinner skins. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/
