You've got a good point, but maybe for the wrong reasons.
As Martin said earlier, maybe it's because evolt focused on the
beginners POV, but why is css-d so active and ala/thelist are slowing
down? Maybe because the web has become more professional than when we
all started, and industrial (read /fragmented/ here). Thus specific
server-side lists, CSS lists, etc have a bigger or more focused volume.
This said, I unsubbed from thelist maybe two years ago because I had no
time to reply and had the oh-this-question-again impression too often.
At the same time I still think that a general-purpose, broad-picture
list is a good thing, as we don't always want to have a myopic outlook
on things.
I'm not suggesting anything -- just trying to explain the situation in
more detail.
/me goes back to lurking
