Diminishing Utility Supply At what point do we cease to be participants in this land ? Many of the cyberdead were children of the bubble as surely as they were victims. The post bubble period has been characterized by a steady attrition of participants. There are real world issues that cause people to reassess the value of this land. A bad investment is easy to find today and it easy to find posters who left because they made bad investments. It is harder to find those who have left because they made good investments. In the case of many writers we can glean a lot of real information, we can check information by googling facts to see what can be cross referenced, we can read the messages they write, what we can't do is supply a good-bye that tells us exactly where someone went. When the bubble broke this land was directly affected by the implosion, a lot of value was taken from investment accounts all over the world. One effect of the implosion was diminishing returns, a secondary effect has been a review of value. The review of value has continued apace and we continue to see the effect of greater scrutiny, the next major collapse could happen anywhere, to any stock, at any time. The law of diminishing marginal utility provides answers to value questions based on traditional supply-demand models. The new land wrenches the traditional model out of shape, the supposition that there is an endless supply of product and that it is free doesn't graph well. When you attempt to model the demand curve in the new land you discover demand is not a function of price and it is unrelated to supply. The reasons that draw us here are as diverse as the reasons that cause us to leave.
