Re: Poll suggestion: Lurkers

[Kat Nagel <mlists -at- masterworkconsulting -dot- com>]

As is usual with polls, none of Keith's options--or the ones 
suggested by others in response to Keith's post--explain why I 
usually lurk these days.

When I first joined the list, a few months after Eric founded it, I 
responded to almost every thread, often several times a day.  My 
opinions on every issue from certification to portfolios to spaces 
after a period have been enshrined in the archives.

Now, many threads are repeats by new members of issues that have been 
discussed several times before.  I feel that most list members 
already know my opinions on those issues and would be bored if I 
repeated them on-list again.  So, I often respond to the original 
poster off-list.  I try to post on-list only when I have something 
new to add to the discussion, something not addressed by the other 
posters, something that I haven't ranted about in previous 
discussions.
