Other than the aging thing and alternative lists, I think perhaps over =
time some subjects may have finally been beat to death.  The membership =
on this list, though there is some ebb and flow, stays pretty static.  =
It is the same set of cars being discussed for all this time, by the =
same group, so more and more of the conversation gets into the "asked =
and answered" category.  Although I am sure "car won't start, can't =
figure out why" type discussions will live on as long as there are =
British cars.

That being said I will say that the Triumph community seems more =
tolerant and patient with newbies though than some car communities.  =
When I had my brief fling with a BMW 2002 there was a small but vocal =
group in that community that would answer most every question with "that =
has already been discussed to death, please review the archives before =
ever posting a question again"

Back to the original question...... is Mail List activity down...=20
=20
My latest guesses.........=20
=20
New and old non members/users seeking help probably Google/search for =
specific models and use the term Forum i.e. TR6 Forum  Unless they =
specify Mail List in the search, this List won't show up or it shows up =
way down the list.=20
=20
Another  guess is that many mail list people have moved on to =
forums...... also.....IMHO, the majority of the Mail List posts are TR3 =
and, to a lesser degree, TR4 related.....most of the TR6 gang is gone =
and in the 6-pack forum. Same move has happened in BCF where, this =
morning, only 6 of the first 60 posts are TR6 related with the majority =
being TR2/3. As a TR6 owner I'm going to where I get the most bang for =
the buck and that's a forum dedicated to my model. That's not a knock on =
either the Mail List or BCF, it's just a fact. Miata owners don't join a =
generic Mazda Forum, the go to Miata.net.=20
