Then we just create c.l.ruby.meta
Here we can have all the meta discussions about Ruby and related
technologies and reserve c.l.ruby to actual programming problems in the Ruby

It is absurd that so many smart people spend so much time on a newsgroup
about a language that is so easy to understand. Yet this fact seems to be
the very reason that so many smart people spend so much time here.
