Not counting my latest flood of releases, there are 40 announcements  
out of 480 email over the last week or roughly 8.33%. If you do count  
my flood, then it is 72 out of 529 or roughly 13.6%. Either way I  
hardly think that constitutes the need for another list. seattle.rb,  
ruby-core, ruby-talk, rubygems-developers, and UW-ruby... I don't need  
any more ruby based mailing lists. Really, and this is coming from the  
person who beat you to the punch by SEVEN years [1].

it would?

see that "@gmail.com" part of your email address? I hear they're  
pretty good at this sort of thing. Even my lowly mac mail app seems to  
do a damn good job of it.

they would?

speculate much?
