We're a special-interest group, and a rather small one at that. Any fluctuation in activity by individual members will have a disproportionate affect on the site as a whole. When I joined this group 14-years ago I was amazed at the knowledge trust available to me and I was already by that time a JBL owner for 40-years and had never been here before. People will cycle in and cycle out. The most prolific of our resident experts (not me, for sure) create a disproportionate void when they—for whatever reason—become inactive.
