A link to the original (scroll down a bit):

I might try my hand at a translation with better flow... although, remember, the original is a chat log. Chat logs read in retrospect usually don't flow as well as natural conversation!

Something like this, plus or minus English chat-slang:

(EDIT: dangit, I forgot that HN chops up linebreaks. hold on) (DOUBLE-EDIT: Text file from my Dropbox: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9485376/chattranslation.txt)

Reading the original Japanese wouldn't have helped me, but I did desire a better translation. It's barely understandable as it is.

There's already a link to it on the page. Click on "[ruby-dev:5173]"

Certainly if one is fluent, that's a perfectly reasonable desire - I'm not, but I'm sure there's a significant amount lost in that translation process.

Please don't comment for the sake of commenting, without adding anything to the discussion. Thanks.

No need to be a jerk and jump to conclusions...I thought I added something with that comment (apparently not!)
