Rails - Sep 2006 - ATTENTION: several people are unable to post to this group.

There''s a malfunction in Google Groups'' posting engine,
afflicting an
apparently significant number of users. Full details are here:

http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Groups-Basics/browse_thread/thread/b7ba52ff1a1f41f6/2e0941206e9f758a

In my case it appears an entire ISP with several thousands of users has 
been blacklisted. Which I guess is not enough for Google to take action 
or even notice, as the above thread was started more than a month ago, 
and despite multiple, repeated attempts to contact Google reps through 
every possible avenue - no response has yet been given.

Beyond the obvious disappointment from Google''s QoS, there''s
no
indication that this problem - afflicting quite a few people - is going 
to be fixed any time soon. So it might not be inappropriate to note 
that:

1) Some RoR:Talk participants are able to continue participation in the 
RoR:Talk discussion group only through the Ruby-Forum gateway. Using the 
Ruby-Forum is indeed less convenient than direct posting to the group, 
but more importantly - if the gateway is closed those participants will 
be locked out from RoR:Talk completely.

2) Newcomers, who are not aware of the problem and the Ruby-Forum 
gateway, might try to post a topic to the groups, get frustrated after 
repeated attempts yield no results (except the misleading "Your Message 
will be Posted to the Group Momentarily" notice), and simply leave.
I''ve
been in RoR:Talk for months, and pretty persistent about continuing to 
participate, and it still took me days to discover what''s wrong and how
to (kind of) bypass it.
