This is called "negative feedback". When the net volume becomes high enough,
people dropping off will serve to reduce the net volume. Negative feedback
is an integral part of any stable system.

Why does Usenet still grow? Advances in technology keep increasing the point
where the negative feedback becomes significant. Eventually, the growth in
the user base will be limited by technology.

I don't know anyone other than sites directly in the Internet that believe
this. As fewer and fewer sites carry all news, advances in technology like
Dynafeed will become more common.

No problem. If you want to help accelerate the growth of the net, get cracking
on implementing the technology...
