I figured most people would take it to ruby-talk first.  In the case that 
they didn't, I had planned on posting it myself on their behalf.  You are 
correct though, and the FAQ should reflect that.  It may take a few times 
until things are running smoothly.  I'd like to keep it as a log for matz, 
and try not to bother him with details too much.  Hopefully, I'll even be 
able to get a good enough feel from the conversation on whether or not he 
agrees or disagrees, without having to start a whole new thread just to get 
his views ;).  The man has a language to maintain damn it! ;)

I'll do this.  A little log of requests that have been denied may be very 
helpful.  Thanks very much for suggesting it.
