The ruby-forum _is_ the ruby news group (unfortuntately, that’s not

Personally, I wish that thread would die, or at least get renamed. I  
can imagine that Zed and Luis are certainly quite sick of it by now.

Are you sure about that? I see recent postings from the forum on the  
_mailing list_ only. The newsgroup has gone rather low traffic after  
the gateway was switched off.

My mistake. I wasn’t thinking about the ‘disconnect’.
