>- The average message length is about 30% of what it was 5 years ago here.

I need to correct this. We went back and looked at the data again today. I found that I was doing the cummulative percentages wrong (and including private moderators forum where they are a bit more talkative). In fact, overall message length is unchanged, if not a bit HIGHER over the last 10 years. It is up about 5-8% in the last 5 years. We are going to study this a bit more yet and may be put into the follow up post to this.
