I completely agree.  Those post always keep me in a state of dread concerning 
the Ruby I know and love.  I was glad when someone decided that it would be a 
good thing to have a list of gotchas for people coming from other languages;  
then instead of having to constantly explain the rationale of Ruby over and 
over to each one, we could just say: read item number x in the FAQ,  and be 
done with it.
