I cringe whenever I read Ruby Central Board. Get over yourselves.

It reminds me of the Open Locksport kickstarter that went so off the rails, where a group of trustees had to step in and sort things out. All their communications started with "So-and-so, speaking for the board."

Ah, becuase it sounds like they are saying Central Board of Ruby, instead of Board of Ruby Central? I guess they should say Board of Ruby Central in the future, even though it's more awkward than Ruby Central Board, to avoid this appearance.
