Hello!  
I know this post doesn’t really fit into here,  
because there isn’t really an off-topic forum where i could post.

I’m searching for an English (or from an english-speaking coutry)  
penfriend who can programm ruby.  
Age or gender doesn’t matter for me.

I’m from Germany and 13 years old and actually proamming a wiki  
with ROR and a game with ruby/sdl.

My hobbies except of ruby are linux(ubuntu), computer games and  
skateboarding

I would be very happy if anyone is interested.  
If you are please send me a mail to:  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Anselm,

I ask that you please be very carefull publishing your age as you have  
done and notify your parents/guardian immediately of the post that you  
made. I know you have heard this before but the internet is a very  
dangerous place with many predators and until you are much older(18 or  
the age of an ad\*lt in your country), I would refrain from making  
contact with ANYONE on the internet.

I feel bad/sad for writing this and I don’t want to come accross as a  
“know it all” but your post ran chills down my spine. I hope that you  
can find local ruby enthusiasts in your area or ones that you can make  
through your parents/guardians.

Lastly, for your safety, please never use your real name, give your  
email address, or mention anything about yourself until you are a  
registered ad\*lt. I have children and I feel this is a very important  
issue.

Once again, very sorry about this post and hope it doesn’t upset you…

p.s. \*=‘u’ spam filter going crazy again…

ilan, thanks for worrying about me  
and I know what I do,
