Enzie, this "dwindling" isn't something unique to this forum. For many years, I noticed heavy traffic on a few of the fora where I liked to read. During this period, I made a number of "online" acquaintances, availed myself of a wider range of materials sources, and traded "blows" with some good and knowledgeable folks on the subjects of aesthetics, materials, methods of working, market conditions, and approaches to painting, and it was interesting and worthwhile.
I'm now far less likely to "leap into the breach", because participating on internet fora has become something of a "been there, done that, bought the tee-shirt" sort of thing for me. I think we'll eventually cycle out of the doldrums though, and interesting, vital correspondence will return to these and other boards.
