Glenn,

It was neither an attack, nor trivial. It was a declarative
statement. Such things make threads difficult to follow, and discourge
interjection.

It is difficult to avoid being misconstrued if context
is not kept.

This is a pretty intimidating list as it is. There was
a statement made that implied that things might move
along better if there were more input. I made my
observation.

It seems pretty clear to me, that /right here/ is a good
enough example of me at least, wanting back into lurk
mode most desperately.

I know this is true for me, I can fairly intuit it
is for others also.

This is a high traffic list, I have a day job. I try to read
as much of this list as I can, some threads might go on
for a week or so before I even begin on them.
I'm sure I am not alone.
