It’s just you. 😛 I’ve not noticed any such situation. I’ve seen a rise  
in new user questions, many of which are being handled by people other  
than the Top Ten Regulars (a list that exists only in my head, and  
probably comprises 15 people). Any signal to ‘noise’ (depending on what  
you’re looking for) ratio will be affected by changes to either signal  
or noise. I suspect this is what’s causing your perception.
