Please start prefixing your questions: [RSpec] [Cucumber] [Webrat] (Webrat also has a separate mailing list) [Rails] (Rails has tons of other forums too - please only ask here if it's RSpec or Cucumber related) [BDD] [OT] (Off topic) etc... or if your post is about several topics, for example: [Cucumber,Ruby] [RSpec,Rails] etc... I agree it's better to keep everything on this list to keep the big picture.
