Re: OT-CHAT: beloved lurkers

Sad to see that Glenn seems to be leaving.

Maybe 'noncom' (for noncombattant) would be a better descriptor! <g>

Folks lurk for lots of reasons, including not being comfortable with
this form of discussion (including prior experiences that were
unpleasant for them), not having anything to say about the topics being
discussed, and having other priorities in their lives than talking in
cyberspace about iris (if we can imagine such a thing! <g>).

I have learned so much on this forum, I can't thank folks enough.  Often
those who say less provide the most valuable contributions, and I am
extremely grateful to those lurkers who send me answers to questions
(and encouragement) even tho they choose not to 'speak' in public.

Hard to believe we've been at this for 8 yrs - I think next month is our
anniversary.
