Andreas: I didn't mean to irk you with my behaviour.  Rest assured 
you'll hear from me quickly if anything like this ever happens again.

Sounds good to me.

I'm all for keeping low-quality posts out of ruby-talk.  I wouldn't want 
to be in the judgement seat deciding which are good or bad, though. 
Personally, I would rather not see the forum mirror for ruby-talk 
disappear.  I have always preferred forums over mailing lists and 
newsgroups (though my stance has softened lately with the advent of 
GMail which displays threads rather nicely).

I've been on more than a few forums in my life, and the fact is (based 
on my experience) postings are not really bad just because they're done 
on a forum versus a mailing list.  There are juvenile forums, and there 
are top-notch forums.

My opinion is that we should just keep putting in little strictures and 
making little adjustments until we get to some reasonable state of 
affairs.  Requiring forum registration to post to ruby-talk would be a 
good start, I think.

Who knows, maybe we could also have moderation for ruby-forum, to act as 
a bit of a pre-ruby-talk sieve.

Some extra warning text about the mirror-ness might help, too.
