I ask you to back up this accusation with names and quotations. I would expect that if someone leaves due to me, they'd let me know about it (at least indirectly). But with the sole exception of Keith Hudson (with whose departure I disagreed), I have not received any such feedback. (And even with Keith, it's difficult to blame his departure on me. He was simply fed up with getting his paleo-myths debunked, also by others such as Brad McC.) So your accusation sounds like you need a scapegoat. My impression is that the list has simply "burned out", i.e. the substance of what the regulars have had to say is consumed, and the rest is "fillers" and repeats in variations. It seems to me that e.g. REH and Brad left due to workload IRL.
