Wasn't that when you needed it by?

This statement is what I based my assumptions on:

I'm annoyed at ruby's file IO - can't get it working, and I"m short on time

It's seems pretty clear cut, but then again, I DID say "I assume". Which means I can accept being wrong.

And then you decided to attack me. Wierd. So I'll make another assumption.

You REALLY don't like me.

That's OK. I don't mind you. You are interesting, and occasionally entertaining. And often educational.

Of course, that above statement will probably make you start seething, and kick back something about not needing my approval. So I'll beat you to it.

Happy?

Hope you get the solution you need.
