Mailing lists and users groups tend to explode when a product is new and start to wane off when it becomes mature. There are many reasons why, but yes leading that is there are more / better resources to get answers. I like to think it's partly because the [product has gotten better as well...
My user group has been around for 10 years now and there is a lot of apathy amongst even the most doe hard members. They all show up when a new version gets released. I think we can expect the traffic on the list to pick back up after Gumbo gets released. =] -- Alan Rother Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Manager, Phoenix Cold Fusion User Group, AZCFUG.org
