Yes, the [ruby-talk] would be redundant... though, sometimes redundant
information gets you out of a jam. I know, from unhappy experience, that
some email readers cannot i) filter at all; ii) filter on "To:" headers; or,
iii) deal with "To:" headers where there is more than one recipient (like
this one).

So, for the sake of those users, a [ruby-talk] would be helpful. But, as
Matz reminds us, lets be sure the newsgroup gateway will still work.

Cheers,
Bob
