Isn't lurking better than not keeping up at all? It's better to listen to a conversation than not go at all just because you don't have anything to add.
Absolutely so! Continuing the TarBoard Arms analogy. Reading, but not posting is like popping in for a daily pint, but not having time to join in the boisterous discussion going on in the far corner. Since my reference to John N generated no respoinse from him I fear that these days he doesn't even have enough time to lurk.
