This (ruby) regex thing still gives me a headache , esp when I'm trying to figure out other people's code

You can also use this as String#slice, which is a little clearer:

    "foo@example.com".slice(/@(.*)/, 1)

I love regex, but man it's still crazy voodoo. I hope those lines were well commented.
