Chad, you might want to see if your mail client has the equivalent of a killfile.  Amusingly enough, I 'killfiled' Ilias this morning before the latest kerfuffle.
James, thanks for a careful and well-thought-out response.

All other issues aside, "Dr. Lizardo" appears to want to use a language that is almost but not quite completely unlike the language he has insisted he 'must' or 'strongly desires' to use.  Certainly he is after a 'Ruby' that is nothing at all like the Ruby we know and love.
One  must wonder why...

Bill
