RE: Poll suggestion: Lurkers

["Erb, Isis" <isis -dot- erb -at- ipc -dot- com>]

<snip>
Off the top of my receding hairline, I'd think some possible poll answers
might include:

Don't want to get flamed
Don't want my name/address getting out
Don't want my company to see my post
Don't want a bunch of people writing to me
Don't feel qualified 
Scared of a particular List member
What's the point?
Too shy
<snip>

To add to Keith's suggestion I would only include one more option:
More than one of the above

I tend to lurk more often than not, occasionally replying only to the
original poster for a few reasons - fear of reprisal if my boss sees a post
or the fear of showing my ignorance in a post (even if the intent is to
assist the original poster with their problem).

Thanks for listening,
