Actually, the list / newsgroup is mirrored on the web, so Google tracks everything. Therefore this list is effectively a KB by itself, it even has KB numbers as message id's. For example, try Google "threading problem Ruby" The first hit yields KB article number 18699: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/18699 Of course, you could also search in Google groups directly under comp.lang.ruby, but then you don't get the article id.
