I thought of this too, but I can't see the usual
response-to-an-unknown-answer messages that were related to broken
gateway.

I think this just relates to:

- an increasing of posts in the last (maybe 2? ) weeks, way more than
the normal (we got more messages than c.l.py nearly everyday, while
tipically there are much less), so the reducing is much more visible. 

- it's summer, people stay a little more away of computers

- many usual writers are at OSCON. IIRC tomorrow is the R-Day, with 6
ruby sessions :)
