&gt;It depends.  I recall Wout's list being a lot less technical, but
&gt;maybe I just wasn't paying very close attention.  

You missed the very long spoofs, watchers, affects, and Affects thread
that wended on for months and months then eh?

&gt;About 6 months ago
&gt;the list went *very* technical and I didn't post for quite a while;
&gt;it's actually gotten quite a bit better with the recent influx of so
&gt;many new people.

I suspect (hope?) that it will oscillate.  We've got a bit of a
negative feedback loop going right now where the traffic levels leads
members not to read (overwhelm) which reduces the number of concurrent
threads and thread depth.  Its a shame -- I don't want to split the
list, but I really want to encourage a more active and deeper base. 
Not sure how to do it.  More members would merely seem to lead to the
more vocal drowning out the lower traffic toleranced (already
happening).
