I don't think that this was what was being talked about. I think that a better word would have been "traffic". What happens when there is too much traffic on alist is that it can scare people off. However I think that asking questions on the list is good for every body. It shows the "experts" what the issues are and it hopefully helps the newbies. Incidently everybody can learn from some of the answers.
