As a lurker and pretty regular and complete reader, 1) what's wrong with lurking? You have something new to add, go ahead; I've learned plenty, 'met' plenty of interesting and witty people by reading them regularly. It's usually interesting, often informative, and I wish I'd saved more than I have, because months later I know I'll see some Weyless hubs and think, what was that thread that I ignored all about? 2) I agree that sure, you miss a lot in written text that you don't get from face to face, tone of voice, body language, etc, but I'm still surprised that someone would hesitate to post fearing an 'acerbic reply' from Chuck. Ironic, maybe sardonic or even sarcastic, but this list could use a little lightening up. As many have said, enjoy or delete. 3) Brian B has plenty to offer, and says it well, so I'm glad he's staying, and hope someday to have something interesting to say to him. 4) I wish there were fewer spelling and grammar errors, they make me crazy. Something has to
be done.
