It is, I suspect, a more common phenomenon, found throughout the net on all
sorts of forums as well as listservs. A new list/forum is launched. During
an early phase of initial excitement, members are learning all sorts of new
things about each other as well as the topic of the day. Over time the
active participants shrink to the same handful and the conversation shrinks
as well, to exchanges that have an insider quality, repeating familiar
themes and making insider allusions. Prospects may look at the list, but
they don't find it inviting. That is the usual process.
