Thanks, Owen, for a sensible analysis of the 'lurking' problem.
"Problem", Peter, what problem? Lurking would only be a problem if it
somehow diminished the quality of the TarBoard experience for those of
us who do post.
I guess someone could lurk waiting for a particular topic, say Beckfoot
plumbing, to come up and then come out of hiding and castigate us all for
debating such a wayward topic. But the TarBoard Arms is a broad church,
so to speak, and anyone trying to preach intolerance, would I suspect,
have their ears soundly boxed!
