Community Life Cycle

I found this while browsing a design patterns Wiki:

***Well, this is an interesting discussion, Graham.

Of course, it really seems to pertain to the Tuning List, but things
could pick up there, too.

My *personal* opinion is that things started to decline when there
were *so many* different lists, and people started "missing out" on
certain topics. I know some people disagree with me violently there.

That, plus the intrusive ads on Yahoo and now the multiplicity of
lists that have people flummoxed or to tired to care.

We'll see what happens from here...
