I get the feeling it did. When I read threads from 2004-2002, often someone asks a question and get 2

pages of replies from the same day. I haven't really seen that happening currently.

Of course, there's also

the possibility that the threads which were very active were irregular even in that time period, but the ones that

did receive a lot of responses are more likely to turn up as search hits, so I end up reading those more often.



L-S veterans, what do you guys think?
