To John's credit, his assumption of prior knowledge might be somewhat 
safe considering that he gave a detailed presentation to the Portland 
Ruby Brigade about this project a year or two back. Now, it might have 
been better for him to address newer pdx-rubyists who might not know 
about the project, but at least for me - I totally remember what it is 
and appreciate hearing that it is still marching forward.

Had he not ever given a talk on explain-pmt, or if he were not well 
known to regular meeting attendees, I might have the same reaction Devin 
had. But since he is, and this is mostly a casual list where we have 
lots of sometimes off-topic banter and incoherent planning-for-beer - I 
think it was Devin's response that was the more inappropriate one.
