[Karen Kellogg <garuda2@comcast.net>]

I am one of the lurkers, but just received Bob’s reply, so I imagine I 
haven’t been cut yet. I am here to learn, and find that I often am able to 
pass on information I have garnered from the list to others—
Eliminate the bouncers if you will, but I’d like to think I was welcome to 
remain, even if I stay nearly always silent.
