As an update to the above, 25% of the change agents on LO are active,
much higher than average (as expected) but 75% are lurkers! This really
reinforces the point that MOST people adopt a "wait-and-see"
attitude before sticking their necks out! ...Keith

I consider myself a "lurker" on this list; but a "change agent" at my
place of business.

I have appreciated this mailing list; especially in the context of following
threads. First I will read a response and think to myself - this is a great
answer; then I will read someone else's answer and think - I never
thought of that!

One of the reason's for my lack of posting is the fact that I feel that I do
not have the knowledge of many of the participants; and thus everyone
has more to gain if I read rather than post.

One thing I am learning and hope that Keith will think about is, everyone
sees things from a different angle and thus sees different sights. I was
not offended by Keith's post; he made me think. But I'm sure some
were.
