Gems are like stray dogs. Some people take home every stray they come across, and you can't tell what you are going to get. Me, I make the dog earn his room and board. So, I'm probably ok. But, if I am bitten it will be because some gem I use has a dependency upon a rogue gem. Like merb. It uses facets. My heart sunk the day that was added. -- Jim Freeze
