Ruboids:

I an am adept googler, but this crumb of data eludes me. (Naive attempts  
rapidly get snared in Perl groups, for example…)

I have innard-looking questions about YAML via its Syck vehicle, and I  
can’t  
find the best newsgroup to ask them on. Not that this one isn’t best; it  
just isn’t narrow.

When I hit [http://rubyforge.org/projects/syck/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/syck/) , it has a List clicker  
that’s empty.

What gives with this Syck list shtick??

Philip,

I’ve read [http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/YamlInRuby](http://wiki.rubygarden.org/Ruby/page/show/YamlInRuby) which  
leads you to [http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/](http://whytheluckystiff.net/syck/), and I conclude that  
your best bets are the list we’re currently on, or contacting \_why  
directly at the address on his home page  
[http://www.whytheluckystiff.net/](http://www.whytheluckystiff.net/)

I feel like I should disclaim that any similarity between your reality  
and that of \_why is either coincidental or a prank; I can’t say on  
whom.

-A

My questions are so syck this group would never answer them.

I will try again here when I can remember what the question was.

Absolutely. People who blog about programming under a flippant pen-name,  
as  
as excuse to foist their comics off on the world, should be lined up and  
smacked with a fish in the 5 to 10 pound range.

 

Ooof!

The yaml-core list is a pretty good place to talk about Syck in the  
open. If  
you’d feel more comfortable, just reply to this.
