sorry about that! I was thinking that it was NO compliment, but I was
wrong here! Sorry again. As I said: my English is much worse than I
thought :-(

    Dat> english is much better than mine, but if you are more

I do not think so! I often prove to get things wrong in English ...

Ey! You are speaking German very well! How do you come to learn such
damned difficult language? :-)

BTW: Darf ich fragen, was beklamieren bedeuten soll? Entschuldige
bitte, aber ich kann mir wirklich nicht denken, was Du hiermit sagen
wolltest!

But may I add, I really doesn't want to search an opportunity for
defend Ruby here. But your statement was too simple then. I think if
somebody, who has not decided whether to take Perl or Ruby, read your
article he could get wrong impression, I fear.

But I admit I have overreacted (certainly the wrong word) here. So,
sorry again!

    Dat> mfg Dat

And that abbreviation you know as well ... astonishing!

In that sense,
