As a "lurker" myself, I think that the reason many of us are so quiet is that our readings and thoughts on JDS are very personal, and most of us on the list tend also to be rather private when it comes to personal matters. Also,It is difficult to convery much of what we wish we could share in words. I, for one, lurk around because I can't figure myself out (or my fascination with Waker) and until I do I don't think I'd have much intelligent to say. I'll go back to being silent now, Mark Sheely, Traverse City, MI.
