First, if one stops responding, the requests will dry up. Second, I believe many if not most of the "problematic" emails come from the ruby-forum gateway.
While it's painful, I would advise treating any posts from the gateway as probable spam. Mark them in light-grey on white text in your message list, or put them in a lower priority list folder. This approach would likely resolve much of the noise on the list and the frustration resulting from dealing with "lazy" people who are asking the list to do their jobs or homework or to cover their misrepresentations about their expertise. It's unfortunate that so much list abuse comes from an inclusive mechanism, but reading via the gateway and requiring group membership to post doesn't seem like it would exclude those who need help. Most basic (and not so basic) topics have been covered in enough ways that searching the forum with just about any terms should return some helpful information. -a.
