Phil was the only one so far to notice = the=20 anouncement and express warm feelings towards the first (as it seems) = Russian=20 site devoted to programming in Ruby. And you, Vladimir, were the = first to=20 slap him for the joke. In the very least your remark is rude and = something=20 well avoided on this list. Sorry.

For those curious (and those who have = cyrillic=20 support enabled), Ruby would spell in Russian as

=D0=D3=C1=C8

or, if you do name translation for this = gem stone,=20 even:

=D0=D3=C1=C8=CD

However we do not ususlly translate = programming=20 languages names.
