Re: [Killietalk] Silent participants
As I've pointed out a number of times, go the the forums, mark
Notifications to get posts, full text, and you'll get them by email.
Particulary for a "lurker" as you say you are, the effect will be the same.

I don't know how many others are in my position. Not that it matters
as I can really only speak for myself. I have participated in
internet forums and mailing lists for years going back to the BBS days
of forums and live chat groups. I just wanted to point out the one
HUGE difference between the two.
With an e-mail list the news and opportunity to participate comes to
you along with the mail you will/may read anyway on as regular a basis
as you choose. While with a forum, you must take a moment out of your
busy day to go to that place where you wouldn't be except by a
deliberate choice to do so. E-mail is there anyway so long as one
does any e-mail, the killietalk is always there. If you filter mail
as I do, it always has a place. I can dip in and read the latest with
no special effort. There is a constant reminder that I do have an
interest even though I'm not currently actively participating. That
will never happen with a forum.
....... just my thoughts
