There is not question that the traffic has increased, but I agree that there are many who like the PAW stuff better then the technical stuff. I think we just have to be more careful about labeling. I for one find that I just delete entire threads because I have no time to look at them. I try to look at all of the PAW's, but I only comment when I really have something to say. I just don't have the time to comment on most of them.
The one really important way we all have to deal with this increased volume, however, is to make sure the subject line is informative. That way folks can meaningfully delete threads that they are not interested in.
