Aren’t people a little embarrassed that the search facility of these  
forums is broken? Just asking - it sure would be helpful -

Aren’t people embarassed when they realize this isn’t a forum but a  
mailing list? I guess if I’d have written the mail gateway and search  
wasn’t implemented yet, I’d just drop the “search” button that links  
to a page saying search isn’t implemented, but it’s a matter of taste.

Anyway, the list is mirrored in several places and you can just use  
google to search it. Or here:  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml) Or subscribe  
to the list and search through your mails.

And gatewayed into a usenet newsgroup. Which Google gives one  
easy searchign access for. (not that I actually read usenet  
via google normally. but it’s helpful for search)

Here, try this:
