Wow - I didn't realise this would be such an emotive topic! Thanks for all your replies.
You all make good points. I didn't mean to come across as aggressive, so apologies to all those who have come to the defence of your beloved metasyntactic variables!

(On a related point - my friend just pointed me towards Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby - just had a quick scan through... the examples in there are awesome). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
