I bet someday somebody comes up with a formula that describes the optimal amount of fragmentation for any given community.

I would think that there must exist some sort of rational percentage of fragmentation that is beneficial to prevent stagnation, but above which creates a less than optimal signal-to-noise ratio and leads to a steady decline in the percentage of useful or substantive interaction.

Hmm, I can only hope whoever it is names it "Trevor's Law" :-P
