I think many people are hanging out in localized groups now, because
of the "Too Much Email"  issue and also the shift in the feel of
RubyTalk due to the influx of new users.

I still see some great conversations here, but as someone who was for
a short time a RubyTalk addict, I normally only scan the list once a
day or so, and spend the rest of the time hanging on IRC channels  /
mailing lists for projects i'm involved in / interested in and also
user groups.  I suspect similar for other folks in the community [0]

I don't think that's  a bad thing necessarily, but I can see where
you're coming from.
