If anything needs to be added/changed,
please let me know.
I tried to find a place to mention the announce@rubynet.org list, but didn’t see
a logical place. If that item belongs in
this FAQ, suggest a place for it. (Sometimes
I worry about the content. This is the
newsgroup/ML FAQ after all, not the Ruby FAQ).
Sometimes there is discussion about the
Usenet etiquette portion of the FAQ. I
support this, but I don’t slap wrists.
Not trying to generate controversy, but
give me your thoughts on this: I would like
to suggest that when people reference previous
articles, rather than using a notation like
[ruby-talk:34567] they use a URL like http://ruby-talk.com/34567 (so that it will be
clickable in clients which recognize URLs).

http://ruby-talk.com/34567 is a fair bit of typing to reference an old post.
If I was typing my emails in Vim (oh what luxury) there’d be no such problem.

A partial solution would be to have the mail/news gateway do such a
transform everytime it saw a [ruby-talk:nnnnn]. It’ll keep some of the
people happy some of the time, and I don’t see how it’ll make matters
worse for anyone.
