Sorry, but don't count me in group that is coding up Rails. :) Not =

saying that you aren't right, but I think there are a number of people =

that post to the core list that aren't on the core team. From what I =

read the purpose of the core list is for people to post concerns, bugs, =

new features, news, etc. about Rails or "how does X work in Rails?" and =

the "how do I do X in Rails" goes to the Rails user list, vs. the =

typical "*-dev" list. Ok, I'm defending them now- feel free to go off on =

them. :) Apparently are some smart guys there though, so don't let them =

get confused with the others. Thanks a ton for your help with helping me =

understand this, though. Ruby is cooler every day, and I need all the =

help I can get!
