If I am wrong, I apologize to the fella. The deal about text not carrying across tone reminds me of the saying "Text is for kids" a spinoff of the old commercial about the rabbit trying to get a taste of Kix cereal - it would always say "Silly rabbit!, Kix is for kids!" ________________________________ From: James Britt To: ruby-talk ML Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 10:11:54 PM Subject: Re: ruby IDE's Garry Freemyer wrote: > I am surprised to see sarcasm in this mailing list, or maybe I am just disappointed. A person's tone of voice does not come through in text, so humor can easily be misinterpreted. Better to assume the best, at least at first. That's not to say people here aren't sometimes snarky, just that it may not always be when you think it is. -- James Britt www.jamesbritt.com - Playing with Better Toys www.ruby-doc.org - Ruby Help & Documentation www.rubystuff.com - The Ruby Store for Ruby Stuff www.neurogami.com - Smart application development --0-1319428347-1248239987=:51312--
