They have few very useful things there. Leo, did you mean that last sentence above, or did you mean to say "They have a few very useful things there"? Just as a point of English, the two sentences carry opposite implications. What you said implies the list is not useful. Insertion of "a" implies it is useful.
I am sorry. I was typing away far too fast to concentrate on the precise meaning of my words. What I had in mind is the following: Ruby mailing list is a succesfull online community and their mailing list has several interesting features that can be useful in the case of Lua. * Unique numeric and unmangled message ID that can be used anywhere including search engines. To be contrasted with Lua's unique message ID that can be used only within certain select archives * Usenet/Mailing list gateway that increases visitibility of their community and provides alternative archiving/searching possibilities (e.g. Google groups) --Leo--
