:) Good word.
I've always been a fan of rich vocabulary, instead of the monosylabic 
content that seems to permeate popular media.

Sigh.  I dislike legacy.  I still think that we should get the 
'ruby-archive.org' domain name had have domains:

docs.ruby-archive.org
apps.ruby-archive.org
libs.ruby-archive.org
info.ruby-archive.org

Is there any chance that this might happen?  Even if it's just a mirror of 
the less-accurately-named RAA?
