One correspondent writes:

for example, there's only one paper per year classified as "Category  
Theory" (currently there's only math.CT/9805102), then we conclude that
either
a) no papers suitable for that classification are being written, 
b) the people writing those papers are unaware of the archive, 
c) they're aware of it but prefer not or are too busy to use it, or 
d) they're actively boycotting it.

I'm hoping that c) is the reason and not d). Listing with 
xxx.lanl.gov in noway precludes or detracts from the use of e.g. hypatia
