He didn't have a problem. He wrote a cool program and wanted to show it t=
o us.

I don't know why, but I read his post differently. I feel like hes just a=
 guy=20
who wants to get his foot in the door of the Ruby community but doesn't k=
now=20
enough about how we work to do it correctly. We don't post introductions,=
 we=20
post answers, and that is how reputation is formed.

I don't think it's fair to call the poor guy a troll. He clearly looks up=
 to us=20
and just wanted to impress us. Aren't we all a little egotistical? We ARE=
=20
programmers, after all.
