Guilty as charged. For the record, I was a grade AAA lurker of the
1st class on the ShadowRN list. I've been on the list for about two
years and posted maybe 5 times. I usually kept my mouth shut because
with Gurth, Spike, Adam J., Bull, Tinner, Loki, Lady Jestyr, Dvixen,
Granite, etc., most of the questions posted got answered before I even
saw them. (And if I missed somebody forgive me, it's really late
here.) Besides the server at school was really slow and the threads
were really old by the time I could respond. (And yes, I recall the
weeks of chaos that followed the day that Bull and Tinner joined the
list. Talk about exceeding mail storage quota. :) )
I have since gotten a better, faster email account and can actually
keep up with the lists. I also have decided to join the rest of the
world and leave my lurking days behind.
So to make a long answer short (too late), yes, I was a lurker and
have since gotten verbose. And yes, I heard about it when Loki posted
it on the ShadowRN list.
Does that help or have I made matters worse? Maybe, I'll go back to
being quiet. :) If you want to know more, let me know, but you may
soon wish I stayed mute. :) ( Or maybe I'll just bring back the Top Cat
Manifesto. :) Evil GM laugh.)
