But what drives the discussion on the PLUG list? It's the questions and
news items that are posted, right? So if it is true that the list is not
currently hosting a string of erudite threads, I think it would be fair
to explain that as "seasonal variation". It surprises me to hear someone
suggest that plug at plug is not a technical list -- it gets extremely
'expert' or technical at times. But as I've not been subscribed to
plug at plug for very long, perhaps I am not seeing some trend that has
been developing over very many years?
