I disagree here strongly - it has made life a lot more personal, a lot more
focused. it's not personal in the same way as chatting at a party - it is
both more and less intense. And on email, if I don't feel like chatting i
can ignore the posts without being rude. "lurking" is considered not only
acceptable but a good idea while you're getting used to the "flavor" of the
list.
