Three cheers for David A. Black. For all that he's given to the Ruby
community, from creating RCRchive.net to answering all those silly nube
questions. We love you David :slight_smile:

3 Cheers!

Something we all can understand:

def cheer(name)
   puts "Hurray for #{name}!"
end

3.times do cheer('David') end

Hehehehe, sorry, I couldn't help myself :slight_smile:

Don't forget all the work he has done over the years setting up the
RubyConf, along with the other RubyConf organizers. We all appreciate your
effort guys.

3.times do cheer('David') end

I'd prefer:

class IO
  def cheer(person, times = 3)
    self.puts 'Hurray' + (times ? ', hurray' * (times-1) : '') + ' for ' +
      if person.is_a? Rubyist and person.respond_to? :nickname
        person.nickname
      else
        person
      end + '!'
  end
end

module Kernel
  def cheer(*args, &block)
    $defout.cheer(*args, &block)
  end
end

There are very few people who have been around this ML longer, who
have helped more, and who have consistently posted interesting and
high quality stuff.

(Plus, I feel like we need to get some of the old, good vibes back.)

Hey, while we're at it, there's always ts! (What does the 'ts' mean,
Guy?) He's also been a huge help over the years. And there are
others: why, DHH, and pragdave have all made huge waves in our little
(but growing!) pool.

Dude, we have a *good* list here! :slight_smile:
