I think the thing I object to is the implication that if you don't join in but do read the various postings, you are 'listening maliciously' - in other words, you are somehow up to no good, merely because you don't burst forth with erudite prose every now and then. There are undoubtedly a number of people who only read the postings and never join in. How many that is I doubt we'll ever know. We could also be fooling ourselves - there may be NOBODY out there and all those that are in the 'pub' have already declared themselves. We might think we are utterly fascinating but it stretches imagination to expect the world at large to agree with us!!!!

Anyway, live and let live.

By the way, my favourite 'lurk' is when the Ds are watching Nancy, Peggy and the GA at Beckfoot, 'No go' and all that. What about anyone else - what's your favourite one?
