The first post to the this list by a user has to be approved. However all
posts that come from ruby-forum look to google groups like they are coming
from the same user, which was approved many years ago. Ruby-forum used to
allow anonymous posting, although it would seem they require you to create
an account these days. I'm not sure what can be done from the google groups
side of things. It does amaze me how terrible the google groups spam filter
is though (messages that appear to be spam are also queued for
moderation,but this happens extremely infrequently)
