Thank you for your comments. I will think about them as I write the next 
draft. Other comments so far, from both Rubyists and Ruby novices, make me 
think I should  leave the level of Ruby detail about the same.

As far as the testing topics go, you'll have helped me be more precise 
about my wording. But I don't yield on my claim that the combination of 
automation through a scripting interface and manual exploratory testing is 
a better default choice than automation with a GUI testing tool. That's not 
a topic for this list, though.

I'd appreciate suggestions for improvement, keeping in mind that I'm 
writing for a novice audience.
