For a minute, I thought your reply was generated by a porn spam bot
until I saw github in the URL. :)

For those reading the thread, this is a gem that uses
http://publicsuffix.org/ to parse domain names and identify the suffix
(e.g. "com" or "co.uk"), domain, subdomains, etc.  It extends
Addressable.URI.

That was very helpful.  Thanks.
