I think a lot of the problem (for me) is that most of us "old timers" who've been with the list since the beginning in the '90s have become a lot less interesting, and perhaps a little introverted over time. Ennui has set in with too much of a feeling of: "Been there, done that." As for myself, posting here in the old days felt like posting to a family or group of really good, avid and like-minded friends. It was not unusual for folks to post on topics way beyond just tech-y stuff and unload a little emotionally too. Now that it's many years post 9/11 people just don't do that anymore. On the LD list, all we have are the bare words and maybe a link or two. The bells and whistles of FB allow the posting of photos, video, and audio — which can sometimes seem (on the surface) a lot more interesting to peruse on a daily basis. But over the months and years, I've found that sometimes a picture is NOT worth a thousand words. And some of the "dancing baloney" of the FB age is pretty shallow and vapid. It tends to make me want to become a hermit and hunker down in my cave and turn my back on the world. But then there are all these new exotic FX pedals (it seems like a "golden age" for that sort of thing) and looping tools are popping up everywhere. At just the point I'd want to turn my back on it, the world is becoming a lot more interesting. If only I had the energy I had 20 years ago . . . The world has spun around quite a few times since the summer of '96 too.
