Well, it looks like stuff works fine in the mail-list to comp.lang.ruby
direction. So lets try the other direction one more time from a different
browser on a different link and see how this works.

Each successive line below will have an additional letter of the umlaut-o
version of "Goedel's":

1 G
2 G
3 G
4 Ge
5 Gel
6 Gel'
7 Gel's
