Yes, but that means those people would need to become unified, but I
somehow think that, at the genesis of these competing sites, they've
become, themselves, competitors, and possibly unable to unify in that
regard.
So, you are faced with an awkward decision: use none or make your own
that will become the defacto.
Hmmm, and neither of those really work, do they? (Despite your
clout.)
But, you're right, I'd like them to be unified as well.
M.T.
long ago i suggested the subject line [SNIPPET] for postings to
comp.lang.ruby
- google already indexes it - it would at least be a single unified
space.

This is an idea I like. So in honor of the fact that I stole the
format for this script from you ara, I'd like to present my favorite
little script / snippet, rbmlexample:
Usage: ruby rblmlexample.rb <somefile.rb> [ arguments for somefile.rb ]
It copies the results of running somefile.rb and also somefile.rb to
the clipboard on Mac OS X (In ara's style of cat blah.rb ruby
blah.rb), where you can then paste it into a ruby talk email.
It's dependent on pbcopy, but I imagine a little search and replace
could adapt it for xclip. In retrospect this is probably a bit too
long to be a snippet. Ah well.
% cat rbmlexample.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
$VERBOSE = true
begin
file_name = ARGV.shift or raise 'You need to supply a file name'
IO.popen('pbcopy', 'r+') do |clipboard|
clipboard.puts "% cat #{file_name}"
file_src = nil
File.open(file_name) do |source_code|
file_src = source_code.read
end
clipboard.puts file_src
clipboard.puts ''
ruby_res = nil
IO.popen('ruby 2>&1', 'r+') do |ruby|
ruby.puts 'STDOUT.sync = true'
ruby.puts %Q{
begin
old_verbose = $VERBOSE
$VERBOSE = nil
ARGV = #{ARGV.inspect}
ensure
$VERBOSE = old_verbose
end
}
ruby.puts file_src
ruby.close_write
ruby_res = ruby.read
end
clipboard.puts "% ruby #{file_name}"
clipboard.puts ruby_res
end
rescue => ex
STDERR.puts "#{File.basename($0)}: error: #{ex.message}"
end
.
