Mr. Roelofs.

I've observed the utf-8 behaviour of ruby yaml on a local installation
(ruby 1.9.2 windows 7 greek). As a first step I've read some existent
topics (which confirmed my observations).

The usual step (before going to a dev-list or to an issue-tracking-
system) is to *confirm* the issue within a user medium.

It is a standard process that I'm following, in order to protect the
time of the core developers.

I ask you friendly to respect the public nature of this usenet group -
please refrain from further off-topic comments.
