And if it's not clear from the subject line that it _is_ something
somebody knows/cares about, then that somebody is unlikely to read the
body of the message.

Subject lines like "help me please" or "Python doesn't work" or "An I
connected here" are likely to be ignored by most of the people who
probably know how to help.  There are a few kind souls who make a
habit of reading those, dog bless em.  [I'm not one of them, I only
read this by accident.]

That said, there is definitely less traffic these days.  I assume it's
a continuation the gradual abandonment of usenet/email in favor of
various almost-entirely-useless web "forums".
