Hi,

Although my posts seem to show up on the ruby-talk mailing  
list, they seem to be missing from the ruby-talk archives.  
(I post directly to the mailing list via removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid )

I wanted to link a friend to one of my ruby-talk posts, using  
a URL like the following:

[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/266246](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/266246)

But I get a file not found response.

I’ve spot-checked several of my posts over the past few months  
and every one has been missing from the archives so far(!)

When viewing the archives sorted by message ID, the posts  
are simply missing from the sequence:

266244 07/08/26 10:32:19 [jwells servalsy] Re: Ruby access to Win Forms

266245 07/08/26 10:43:53 [garbagecat10 gm] Re: Thread safety techniques  
for server applications?  
266247 07/08/26 11:43:45 [transfire gmail] Re: Bind to an “as if”  
superclass context  
266248 07/08/26 11:57:17 [james grayprodu] Re: Functional Programming

(266246 not listed)

Any ideas how or why this might be happening?

Thanks,

Bill
