RVM - Common gems in all gem sets

I'm using RVM and Gemsets to manage my Ruby project environments, I keep an .rvmrc file on each project directory in order to get a different Gemset (using rvm use --create 1.9.3@<project_name>). Everything works well in that manner, but:

For some reason though, when I use rvm use <ruby_version>@<gemset_name> and then gem list I get a mixture of the correct gems (the ones which indeed - have been installed in my project), as well as some other gems which are definitely not related.

Any idea what may causing this? maybe there's a 'default' gemset which if I accidentally installed some gems on it, It'll include them in all of my gemsets?

Thanks for the help

Never mind, found my answer in here - Interpreter global gemsets:

RVM provides (>= 0.1.8) a @global gemset per ruby interpreter. Gems you install to the @global gemset for a given ruby are available to all other gemsets you create in association with that ruby. This is a good way to allow all of your projects to share the same installed gem for a specific ruby interpreter installation.
