No! Not at all. I hope it did not seem that this was what I was implying.
I was just saying that many "lurker" or "non-respondsive" LD list member/
subscribers are merely trying to be "polite" by not inserting commentary 
when they have little to ad to a discussion. Personally, I read many, many 
fascinating posts on LD that I may have some thoughts on . . . but, after
thinking about it I realize that I have nothing really very original to 
say . 
. .
or somebody has already said it better than I would have and it's a waste 
of time to say, "Me too! Me too!"

And . . . maybe it was impolite to insert MY comments into a discussion
where I'd previously only been a listener/observer. I could sense some
disappointment that the list was not responding to your posts "en masse."
I spoke up in defense of all the silent ones.

My only point . . . and then I shall go silent again . . . is that many 
CONTEMPLATE 
what is said . . . but do not often speak themselves. That's all I was 
trying 
to say.
Now I've said too much.

Mine to. The LD list is very helpful in this regard. I've subscribed for 6+
years and it is very important to me. Like I said before  . . . I read
many more posts than I respond to . . . and I believe many others do
as well.

Sorry! My turn to apologize . . . here's a quick glossary of common
english/american webspeak abbreviations you may find in cyberspace:

FWIW = "For what it's worth"
OTOH = "On the other hand"
IMO = "In my opinion"
IMOHO = "In my own humble opinion"
BTW = "By the way"
LOL = "Laughing out loud"

There are others but these are the ones you'll encounter most often.
