This is a valid concern, for ruby-talk has become a virtual torrent of 
postings lately.  I think this is a *good* thing, but it does really put 
the strain on the readers.  Shoot, even I have trouble keeping up.

Perhaps someone would be interested in publishing a weekly summary of 
interesting threads in the list.  Post the summary regularly with 
pointers back to the ruby-talk archive so that someone reading the 
digest could peruse just the threads that sounded interesting.

Other than that, getting a good mail client that supports some level of 
threading really helps out too.  (I used to use GNUS to read mail and 
that could score messages according to user defined criteria.  I wish my 
current mail client did that.)
