Sent the last post in haste; did not sign or provide 
a heading; my apologies. I was responding to the 
"Why lurk?" thread.

One reason I (mostly) lurk is that I receive the list in 
digest form; often when I am prompted to respond 
to a post, I see that someone else has responded 
adequately or made the same point ahead of me. 

A list like this live or dies by its contributors; a large 
pool of eager and knowledgeable contributors makes 
for a great list. But we can't expect people to post for 
the sake of it. If "lurking" means that someone 
subscribes to the list and learns by reading its posts, 
that's fine by me.
