Thanks!

(It's just that not very long ago I've read in some CHNAGELOG something 
along the line of "now String#split behaves more like Perl's", and this 
caused me to have a second thought before using the "capturing" 
feature.)

I wish to apologize for my rant. What I wrote was merely "air venting"; 
it wasn't actually about Ruby. I utilized the fact that Ruby-talk isn't 
only for getting technical answers but also for "hugs" in times of need, 
if you know what I mean. I didn't mean for what I wrote to be taken 
[very] seriously. Sorry. Well, I hope whis shall be a lesson for me.
