Keith et al,

I used to be a lot more active on this list.
Starting about three years ago I slowly
reduced the number of public postings and
increased the number of private postings
that I made.

Most of my recent posts have been questions
rather than answers. I like getting feedback
on an idea or technical issue; it's a helluva
lot easier to receive than it is to give.

I sometimes contribute to the list if a
discussion of a technical topic (in which I
have some knowledge) starts to go astray, or
if misinformation is posted to the list.

More importantly, perhaps, I feel that I need
to be more exacting about composing public
posts to this list. Writing and reviewing a
public post can be a time-consuming process.
I prefer private messages because I feel that
I can be more relaxed about what I write and
how I write it.

Thanks for starting such an interesting
discussion, Keith.

Cheers,

Rowena
