I'll second that wholeheartedly!

@Michelle: Please don't take it too personally. Questions like
"How can I write a program that achieves world peace"
(I exaggerate a liittle...) without giving *any* information
on a specific problem you have with Ruby or on your prior knowledge
in programming are nearly impossible to answer adequately.

Still, you will find that this kind of questions is more often
answered here than not (at least people try...)

Ryan's answer may have been a little too rude, but your reply
to him and your subsequent behaviour even more so.
