Hi! All,

Although having been very much on the lurky side myself for the past 3
years, I agree with Mr. Climpson after following this thread all day.
I often have something to add to various threads, valuable or not is not for
me to say� However, the first and second time I did so I got bashed from at
least three different directions at once in a nasty way, and I have seen
this happen to other "sideliners" as well when trying to add their tuppence
to an ongoing discussion. So the impression given by this list can actually
be that it already is an elitist one, scaring the lurkers from
participating.

I guess I could be wrong about this, but it�s a feeling I got and that has
kept me firmly in my spectator seat, all ears though.

Maybe we Swedes are just sensitive�
