Well, yes, but that's simply the nature of online fora (I originally wrote "nature of Usenet", but I think it's more general than that). From my POV, if you're going to call it a "decline", you need to provide more evidence than some people leaving and others arriving. I think that the sheer volume and quality of posts to c.l.py is evidence that c.l.py is not declining. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "At Resolver we've found it useful to short-circuit any doubt and just refer to comments in code as 'lies'. :-)" --Michael Foord paraphrases Christian Muirhead on python-dev, 2009-3-22 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
