I also agree with Catherine, but I think people are silent more often because of diffidence, or not knowing what others want to know, or being over-whelmed with what else they are doing. Why on earth would any of us intentionally "keep secrets"?
The main thing is that we volunteer with information, answers, or even opinions when a question is asked or a topic raised, and I think it's really great the way this group does do this.
