I understand that you want some more action on the list, but I think first you
should consider that not all of the 100 or so people you call lurkers are not
posting because there is nothing happening. Some of us "lurkers" just don't
have anything to say. I know of at least five of my friends on this list and
we have talked about their lack of posts. The general idea is that none of us
have enough experience to comment on the cards, or the ability to create cards
since we have hardly any knowledge of what would be useful or correct. I've
played the game an entirety of twice, and own possibly 1/2 of a full set of
First Run, and I'm the most experienced person around. I think it would be
great if there were a little more action, but I think a lot of people on here
feel that most of the discussion is over their heads, so they don't post for
fear of looking stupid or getting yelled at.

Well, anyway, just my thoughts, plus or minus a few more lurkers...
