Do you ever notice the member names at the bottom of the page? Recently I've noticed lots of members who read threads, yet never post. I guess we could characterize those folks as lurkers. I always feel the need to comment rather than just assimilate data about people. Just sayin'

Some people like myself are just quiet, shy and reserved, and don't want to be seen or heard so we don't post!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Yep, I've always thought of you as such a shy shrinking little violet.

I think they're afraid to post since the posters are so very sophisticated and wise and they're scared we'll think they are not so.

Also, Lainey, please refer to my response to Loves2drive. It could also apply to you.

I look there often, to see who's on. Sometimes I just read a thread but don't add anything.


EDIT Right now, it shows Scooterboy reading this thread.
