: Here's my hypotheses:

8.  comp.lang.{c,c++} have so much traffic it takes just too much time
to keep up.  And so much of it is noise.  Thus I'd say the signal to
noise ratio is lower and thus worth reading.

9.  With a smaller community of those writting articles you can actually
remember who said what and what they stand for.  (ie. you know I'll get
into any thread with erronious C code in it.  ;-) )
