Perhaps. There were only 2 actual true blue lurkers who came out to
post, having never posted before: was Val with her yummy bog poetry. There
was also Monica with her mystical thoughts on how to silence jackals. I'd
have to check their subscription dates to find out if they are actually
lurkers speaking up, or new members posting for the first time. (thank you
both)
At the very beginning when lurker week was first being suggested,
Materiamat came out to vent about the kids and guns post. She was welcomed.

I would not necessarily class you as a lurker.. not that I would
disagree with your self identification with the title, if you want to think
of yourself as a lurker, then go ahead.
I count 35 posts from you since the K-list moved to onelist. Not a
lot.. but of 582 members at present, there is a big silent majority who
have never posted at all. When I think of lurkers, they are the ones who
come to mind.

Sigh.. seems like a lot of people want to pick at the list lately..
well, I think the list is damn fine.. bloody wonderful! Yay, K-list! Yay,
Guru knights! I remember in the past, I wished there were more
knowledgeable people to respond to newbies inquiries..
I'm on Harsha's list.. and once or twice a month I skim the digests.
The Satsangh does not allow arguments to erupt, gentle respectful
discussion only. Posting of regurgitated words of wisdom from long dead
Gurus encouraged. I enjoy it, and I love Harsha dearly.. but it sure is
dull, sometimes...

ah so.. and so now the insecure lurkers who desire encouragement
hesitate, wondering if their posts would also be dismissed as crap or barf.
sigh.
I would like to take a moment and offer a hearty thank you to the
regular posters! Yaaaay chatty regulars! Hip hip, hoooray! Rock
on! Without you the list would be a dull and quiet place...
Two lists of my multilist K-list family of lists, K-Goddess and
Kundalini-p, are all lurkers, all of the time! Full time lurker only. The
two lists together number about 300 members and have no traffic at
all! The K-p list lately has had a bit of traffic, mostly people who have
accidentally posted there, responding to threads on K-list or K-sex
list. The K-sex list too, has recently revived, but for months on end
before that, it was quiet as a tomb.. only the occasional bit of Tantra
spam interrupting the silence.
Yay, regulars! Keep on barfin.. :) ;)
Blessings..
