Hello, As far as it is about me, I can say that I left wikimedia-l twice or three times. I left mainly because of the high amount of mails, also often not very useful mails, "witty" remarks in 1-2 lines for example.
But I think that this is a good example for a quantitative research that should later lead you to a qualitative look. And maybe it is indeed an indicator for something. In systems theory, one might think that the social system shows an internal differentiation so that people go to more specialized lists. Isnt't there literature about the traffic on mailing lists?
