I'm a nuby and I enjoy responding to nuby questions that I can answer - 
that said, there are some questions, which are almost unanswerable - ie 
no context, no explanation etc.  I have to say that this is more common 
on the rails mailing list - which I'm almost on the verge of abandoning 
because of the ridiculous number of trivial posts.

Most of the time on ruby-talk, I scan for anything by Matz, and anything 
I'm either working on, or interested in (I always read ruby quiz and the 
solutions), apart from that if I see something that I can answer, I'll 
reply, the rest I have to junk as I can't read everything each day
