peter chaoGreg,
What you say about people being rational adults is true, but that is part of the reason people don't post, they don't want to be jumped on.
It isn't my imagination, I've received e-mail from board members and I have spoken to some.
In one post Jim Crandell openly said that he's glad I'm around because it helps deflect some of the flak he recieves. It truly seems like there are some Board members that aren't happy unless they have somebody to jump on.
Look at the series of threads Lee has started. If he didn't have me to poke fun at he would find another Board member. It's not true that all that lurk are afraid. But to some lurkers and newbys the reason they don't post is that it exposes them to potential ridicule.
