I lurk all the time, sometimes the amount of emails just get overwhelming, especially after a long day at work. LOL! I do cause trouble a lot though.

Lurkers

Hi tomtedbear. In Jenn's defense, I don't think she meant that yourcomments and suggestions are any less valuable than anyone else's. Imyself have a couple of other groups that I "lurk" on and rarely post.In fact, your suggestion of using the OT header was excellent. Ihave no idea why we weren't using it before. It made complete sense.You are absolutely correct. Some of us (eg. me) are disabled and athome all day or work from home. We are able to spend much more timeconversing. In fact this group is a life-line for me. It providesmuch needed company and keeps me from dwelling on myself too much. So, yes I have the time to post quite a bit. You are valuable, andany time you want to comment or share your thoughts please do so. Anycontributions only enrich the group and make us better.
