With all due respect, this is BS.
If we have 100 active (say, at least once a year active) posters, we have a 
certain liveliness in the group. Regardless if thre are 30 lurkers listening 
in (I am assuming, that 30 lurkers will say 'keep me in!'), or 30.000 - noone 
besides you, Larry, would know the difference. I have no clue how many 
lurkers there are on this list, and I do not even want to know. Who cares? 
This is just your emotional state, Parry, that you feel your generous offer 
of this list (and this it certainly is) is not accepted and treated with 
gratitude and proper care (or something similar, I am no shrink) - so you 
pout. 

Relax, Lawrence, and give the lurkers a break.
