This is true. I aprticipate in several discussion groups. Some
via E-mail and some on newsgroups.

Development feedback groups often seem to "go dark" for a bit.
This is an indication that while there are seldom new memebers
there are seldom few problems to report.

To combat the dark periods there are several good techniques.
Here are a couple of suggestions.

Contribute positive experiences. These success stories are every
bit as valuable as bug reports.

Advertise the group in the product help files, logo display,
and about box (as applicable). Also include mention of the supprt
group in submissions to reviewers. Get the press involved.
