Sometime I feel quiet, just want to learn or have no opinion.
<2. Wish to remain anonymous.
Not really.
<3. Only read their archives once a week, and any threads they might have
contributed to have run thin.
No, I read my digest every morning.
<4. Have difficulty with subject headings and fear reprimands.
I'm very careful and always hope I use the proper subject headings.
<5. Are afraid of asking stupid questions.
I try to do research in the archives and other sources when I have a
question.
<6. Have set no mail, rather than unsubscribe, and only appear to be
members.
Not applicable.
<7. Could answer a question but don't have time, or think someone else might
be more knowledgeable.
I have the time but do think someone else will usually be more
knowledgeable.
<8. Have become so hooked on irises through their participation on this
list,
that they no longer have time to write to the list :-)
Yes, I'm hooked but see above answer.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You don't really want 500 answers to each subject, do you?
The things I enjoy about being on this list, are hearing about everyone's
weather conditions and experiences, not only to ask questions. Yet, I know
that if I do have a valid question and can't find the answer on my own,
someone will help. I feel as if I have a ton of friends with similar
interests.
I'd love to meet you all, but travel to conventions is out of the question
due to family priorities (we must save our limited vacations for visits to
grandchildren) and finances.
