In my archives (starting mid 2002), year 2003 was the peak at 37K=20
messages, then 33K, 31K, 28,26,24,16,15.5,14,6.9,5.6 for 2013.  I may of=20
course have some missing but the serious drop in volume is=20
unmistakeable.  Probably will have 5.5K for 2014.

I attribute it to (mainly) the availability and quality (both UI and=20
content) of web forums, which were nearly nonexistent 10 years ago -=20
personally I prefer mailing lists but I'm middle aged.  Secondly most=20
newbies start with Atmel now.

I frankly don't miss Olin I have to admit.

Thanks for the stack exchange tip.
