> I read that the ideal number of people to particpate in a group tops out around 150 members.
Thanks for bringing this up. What kinds of groups was he talking about?
> Dr. Bob, are there more or less than 150 regularly contributing members (average)?
It depends what you mean by regularly. Here's one set of statistics:

> Is this the reason that people were pushing the idea of small groups a while back -- is the feeling that Babble is getting too big and unwieldy for group discussion?
Well, I don't know if the goal here is for everyone to get to know and interact with *everyone*... Part of it was that a big group can be more intimidating, too.
