While there is a lack of activity on this list recently, plenty of 
people still read and respond to it, if someone asks a question, or has 
a request or something.

I've experienced this on other support-oriented mailing lists before -- 
it seems to happen alot when new users stop coming in (in my prior 
experiences, this has been due to a better alternate appearing -- in 
this case, I believe it's more due to graphical multiplayer RPGs 
becoming a bigger timesink for the kind of person who might want to 
start thier own MUSH).  Since there is a lack of new users to ask new 
questions, and the more experienced users tend to shy away from general 
chatting (off-topic conversations), so lists die off.

Long story short, if you recently joined the list, please, feel free to 
ask questions.  They will be answered.  Unless, of course, I 
over-estimate the number of people still subscribed to this list (which 
I might be -- a quick check only lists 7 different people to post in the 
last 6 months [I'd be the 8th with this post]).
