I guess I count as a "waver", as an occasional poster.
For my part, I think it's a mixture of both. Sometimes a thread gains my
attention, and sometimes it's as much as I can do to find time to
skim-read all the contributions. By that I am not de-valuing the many
fine contributions to this list, merely recognising constraints on my time
and that I have a life away from the keyboard !
And then sometimes by the time I've got to the end of a few digests,
others have said what I would have said, so there seems little point in
saying "me too". (I think that you've commented before on this time-lag
and the dynamics it can produce).
