Group Tipping Point? that:

in this case I think it is that in the early days we had true early
adopters around a common cause. Now it's a free for all and so we get
trolls, people who think they want to video blog but apparently can't
read the manuals that come with their cameras, computers, editing
software and blogs (I know that rains on some parades but if this
was, say, a doco list and someone asked naive questions like happen
here you'd be told pretty quickly that you were confusing home movies
with documentary practice). And good work and excellent ideas.
The issue is not so much the size (I am on lists much bigger than
this that still 'work') but the mix, it is specialised but keeps
pretending it isn't and then the list, as a list, gets all confused
about what to do when it goes off topic, or rancour sets in, or for
the 34th time someone wants to know what RSS is, etc....
