Sorry, Office Space ^_^ Unless things got completely unusable, I'd much prefer if there wasn't someone with the power to kick people off the list whenever the whim struck them. Between spam filters and community policing, I think this list is fine.

Tony, I need to disagree with you here. This idea makes the hair on my neck stand on end. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Up until approximately a month ago I would actually read the majority of the posts to see what is posted as well as learn from example code posted by others. But given the recent spate of off-topic garbage the list has pretty much become unusable. I'm hopeful that something will change and the spammers/off-topic posts will go elsewhere, but would very much appreciate being able to have someone step in to stop the madness. -- Dylan Northrup - docx(a)io.com - http://www.io.com/~docx/ "Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet." - Aimee Mullins |
