It seems like a gradual increase in problems. In the beginning, the list was simple, little acrimony. When someone was out of line fellow posters suggested more constructive ways of getting a point across and all was calm again. Even the Tine wars -- Will there be a 335? Will it be a turbo? -- were relatively benign.

Now the list is enormous, and the pace of new threads and posts orders of magnitude faster. IMO Jason and Mark have done a remarkable job. E90Post emerged from obscurity into arguably the most interesting new BMW list. Other lists -- e.g., Bimmerfest -- used to dwarf E90Post. Now if you want to know what is happening, you look here.

What I find remarkable is the lack of intrusion into release of proprietary BMW info. Mind you, it's not like issues of industrial espionage. But still, there were really important posts here that were the primary source of information distribution about stuff that BMW evidently did not want public.
