A look at the website statistics bears out what I already knew from instinct. Traffic is dropping like a rock. What do people want? They want aggregated content. They want the answers to their questions. If you can't provide these, they'll move on to somebody who does; even if this exposes them to a lawsuit. 

In fact, it is only the 1% of people that are writers and contributors who might ever have legal troubles. The vast majority of people (99% or more) are lurkers who never perform a single action to create content.

Last week, over 100,000 page hits a day. Now, 29,000 and falling. There's still a lot of stuff here, but it's hard to compete with celebrity gossip and tech news that are now off limits as content sources.

I'm not complaining about this trend. Those of you who know me also should know better than to think so. I'm just an observer, reporting the facts.
