[LRUG] another beginner.. ruby but not rails

[Stephen Bartholomew]

Camping also makes a lot more sense if you look at the unabridged  
version: http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/camping/trunk/lib/ 
camping-unabridged.rb.  It's highly commented and an interesting read  
if you're into that sorta thing.

Saying that, there is some crazy _why voodoo that only he seems to  
understand...
