I've changed the title of this thread because it seemed so judgmental.
I've become a lurker myself, after about a year of fairly active
participation. Some of the threads don't interest me much, and I don't
have the time any more to get into them.

I'd like to point out to Winfried and all the other "lurkers" out there
that they are very important members of this network we call learning-org.
Many times someone has snipped a thread from the past, carried it into the
present, and added it to the garment being sewn by the group. There can
be great value in returning to previous subjects, though sometimes efforts
to do this can result in "plops" (where someone says something that seems
to call for a response but nothing happens). That's just a risk we have
to take.
We can't all be shining stars, nor should we strive to be.
Cheers,
Dave
