Unfortunately the ruby-talk-google and ruby-core-google lists have not 
been fully functional for well over a week, perhaps longer. They can 
receive outside posts fine, but no one can post a reply or new message 
via either group. I suspect it has something to do with the recent 
increase in spam (not a lot --one or two a day, but still much more than 
we used to get).

I have tried to contact ruby-talk-admin, Matz, Florian Gross, as well as 
Google about this issue. Alas, no one has returned my email. This is 
very sad. Looks like there has been a 10-20% drop in ruby-talk activity 
b/c of it.
