I'm pretty sure ruby-forum and ruby-talk are inter-changeable (so long as

there.

You are right. The only issue I am aware of ATM is that the news->email
gateway has some delays on the news side. We probably can't do much
about it but you should be aware of this.

Hmm.. how long are those delays? Summercool posted messages from
comp.lang.ruby about 6 hours ago that still aren't showing on ruby-talk.

IIRC we had an email exchange about the phenomenon a few weeks ago and agreed that the biggest part of the delay was not in the gateway but in the NNTP path from the posting site to the GW's news server. There's probably nothing we can do about other than changing the news provider. But I believe someone mentioned that this is not easy because news provider generally prohibit this kind of mirroring business in their rules.

Kind regards

The half of the gateway that reads news messages and sends them as emails runs as a cron job every five minutes. If the message has hit our host by the next run, that should be the biggest delay.

I see this message on Ruby Talk:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/269262

I also see it on comp.lang.ruby:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/9c0b3b288942c147

Everything seems OK to me. Am I missing something?

I swear it wasn't there before.. maybe it's the gateway slowness.
