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.
