Hi Dave,

I do not know whether my opinions that follow are shared by others on
the list

Would it be possible to quantify lurkers? Some folks here initiate a
question with statements that imply that they are apologetic for merely
using the group for answers when it suits them. Firstly, any question
asked in a forum such as this is to the benefit of all. It informs the
technically-unaware and awakens the brain cells of the
technically-capable.

OTOH, lurkers are there to glean information without contributing (my
personal perception!). There is a large difference between a newbie
(WAFU, for my 'blue sky ' mates *) and someone who is employed by a
company and now uses this forum to harness information that will assist
them in delivering what their CV stated they are capable of.

I know that you cannot identify, by region, those who post via
HOTMAIL,etc. Apart from those, could you identify by region.

Just a thought,

Jan.

No, I was not in any of those units. But my friends were and they are
men among  men!!

In www.google.com look for '44 para'
