I’ll be away from the net for awhile. Is there anywhere I can download  
this  
list as a gzipped mbox? I find googling the list of great help in my  
ruby  
learning experience.

IIRC there is something like that. The following is from the list admin:

Plaese send commands in the mail body not subject to the address  
[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid).

The command syntax is as follows:

```
# help
help

# help

```

or  
help

Please send the “# help” to the address [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)  
for help and  
server functions overview

```
# help

```

to get general information on this list
