Melinda,

I've changed the subject line because the point you raise is orthogonal to the 
main thread, but since you raise it, it's worth exploring a bit (since I happen 
to agree with your observation.)

The dynamics that make this true seem to have to do with changes in our 
community rather than in the nature of the technical work or the online tools.

So the question is how to move the center of gravity back to mailing lists?
