It happens once in a while.  Ideally you post specific messages so
gateway operators can check.

It may actually be that ruby-talk is not completely represented in any
of the systems where you can access it.  AFAIK currently there are

- the forum http://www.ruby-forum.com/forum/ruby
- the mailing list
- newsgroup comp.lang.ruby
- ruby-talk archive at
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml (feed from the
ML)

There are gateways involved between those systems which do some
processing (i.e. spam filtering, filtering based on message format
etc.) so it could well be that messages get dropped.

Kind regards

robert
