Or perhaps it is simply due to the

or an older moderated "forum".

That's my guess. More places to talk, and fewer people talking
in any
particular group.

Imagine a small town that originally had one tavern. Two new
taverns
open up as the town slowly grows (or maybe doesn't grow at
all).

Newcomers find some place where they feel comfortable. Some
will stay
and others will move on.

Oldtimers may stick with the original, or spread out and find a
new
place they like better . . . or just make the rounds once in a
while.

No offense, Phil, but I left RAR+P because of the acid response
from the DEALERS disguised as individuals on it. There's too
much SELLING going on for a usenet group...too many dealers.

My experience on it is not unique....
