I am still seeing messages on comp.lang.ruby that don't appear on the mailing 
list. Is anyone looking into this? Its very schizophrenic...

Like this message from Dave Brown which hasn't appeared on the Mailing list:

Newsgroups:

Subject: 
Rubyx init subsystem

From: 
dagbrown / LART.ca (Dave Brown)

Organization: 
None. Come on, you expect me to be organized or something?

Is there anywhere I can just download Rubyx's Ruby-based init
subsystem from? I want to try it out on Debian, just out of sheer
perversity.
