Wow!  I knew it wasn't that active, but those are some pretty stark
numbers. I was sort of kidding about Facebook, but is that - or other
social media - the main reason for the drop in traffic? Are there fewer
subscribers? I still get a decent number of messages on some of the other
lists I am on - mostly academic with a few activists - but they are mostly
just for announcements and a few queries; little conversation.
