I agree with you on that - I've found the same in my experience.

FYI,

Based on my personal experience, people are willing to sign up for group
sites like those offered by organizations such as IGF-USA and Diplo, but
they do not actively participate in these groups. Noting the number of
people who have signed up for such a group is in no way a measure of its
efficacy. I am one of the administrators for the IGF-USA Ning site. The only
action we see on it other than people joining is action we force by
requiring people to post - such as requiring that they prepare and post
information on presentations for the Oct. 2 meeting of IGF-USA last fall. 

Most people still do business by e-mail, and we found with IGF-USA that
people joined Ning and then ignored it and just communicated on e-mail
lists.

I could be all wrong, but it seems as if most conversations of a political
nature among highly involved Internet stakeholders still happen mostly by
e-mail.
