I wonder if anyone knows why sites like Stack Overflow and those of ours
I mentioned are seeing more volume, while this list and all MySQL fora
are seeing much, much less.
The major benefit I see on StackOverflow and the like, is the rating system on
the comments, and to some extent the rating system for users.
On the other hand, I find that the signal-to-noise ratio on older media like
mailing lists and IRC tends to be much more favourable, presumably because it
is where the dinosaurs dwell :-)
A lot of new users may only use the MySQL Forums and not even know about
this mailing list. I guess this email-based peer-to-peer exchange is
slowly disappearing into the background like the old usenet newsgroups, eh?

My problem is a lack of time. I can monitor the mailing lists or the
forums but rarely both while still doing my regular job of handling the
official service requests.
