Just to clarify... my question was not meant to be patronizing. My point is that Pascal would probably benefit more by advocating Common Lisp in more general forums rather than trying to 'convert' folks who are interested in Ruby. I don't think your flame-bait has helped support that point at all. That said, kill-files solve problems like this much faster than long discussions about Netiquette do. -greg
