I have noticed the reduction in volume myself.  A lot of folks have probably
not re-subbed I suppose.  

That or they're all hanging out on the general list whooping it up about
this and that.

I believe that's what happened. When I noticed I wasn't getting any hits
from the list I got no answer. Same for test messages. Assumed the hardware
had failed and waited to be notified when it went back up, although I did
send an occasional test message. I wasn't until last week that I found
out from someone on the Caldera list that the list was back up, but that
I needed to resubscribe.
