Re: What happened?

Welcome back Charles.  I agree with you.  The various Cat23 lists are 
quieter than they were a couple or three years ago.  Maybe it is people 
drifting into other groups (and it seems as though there are many people 
who were once mainly Cat23 types who are now active in multiple forums), 
or it may be due in part to the continuing success of the Worldmasters 
(60 or 70 games and questions arising from them not on the regular 
lists, but rather in the Tournament lists).
