Though I throw my 2 cents in occasionally, for the most part I don't
participate for this very reason -- most of what is discussed on the
list is of no interest to me. I scan the digest quickly each morning --
most of the topics I skip (and as Kent noted above, I'm not
complaining; if you guys want to discuss "Font Selection
Methodology", go for it). I do try to respond to questions about help
development if I have a comment and no one has answered by the
time I read the posts.
