The current slow turn-around for list postings has helped reduce
traffic.  Faster turn-arounds encourage more active response by
those of us who watch our mail spools (who also tend to be among the 
more voluble).  My absence hasn't helped either.

Atrophy.

Certainly -- they're called the MUD-Dev archives.  Very simply all I
did was wander back thru old posts and dig up things I thought could
stand more examination.  I also tried to frequently cross-associate
threads and ideas to reduce stratification.
