You do know that the gateway from the Usenet newsgroup (comp.lang.ruby)
to the mailing list (ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org) is broken, correct? This
has been discussed repeatedly over the last few days. That means
anything that you post to comp.lang.ruby is (for the time being) going
to go unread by those who are only subscribed to the mailing list.

P.S.

It is my understanding that the connection still works in the other
direction: that messages sent to the ruby-talk mailing list will be
mirrored to comp.lang.ruby.
