Hi there,
Another reason people lurk is because they find they get flamed when 
they post.

This happened to me recently. Sure, all the folks here knew what was 
going on. I thought I was being helpful. I was caught out by a majordomo 
default. I also know of several list owners (ranging from utter newbie 
to very experienced) and at least one experienced sysadmin who were 
caught out too. So, (with the exception of this post) it is back to 
lurking for me.

All the best,

Istvan (dedicated Lurker)
