Stovers (including Lurkers)

["Paul S. Anderson" <psanders@ilstu.edu>]

Stovers,

This is an observation about us and our Stoves List Serve.

We would like to know more about those who are subscribed to the Stoves 
list, and here is a little "tongue in cheek" story about us in recent weeks:

1.  Someone (me) sent an absurdly large message that caused some grief to 
some readers.

2.  Someone (Steve) APPROPRIATELY raised the issue about the long 
message.  That was Steve's first posting to the Stoves list, and he 
referred to himself as a lurker (reads messages but does not send back to 
the list serve.) or a new subscriber.

3.  The result now is that I (Paul) and now working with him (Steve) on 
some stoves issues for his area of the world.

Moral of the story (joke):  If we could irritate more of the lurkers to 
write back to the list, then we could find out who they are and try to 
assist them with their problems.

Serious moral:  If you are not known to the others on the list (that is, 
that you are a lurker), please just send a message and tell us about why 
you read the Stoves messages.  All kinds of good contacts could come from it.

Off to Africa on Tuesday PM for all of March.   I will receive messages, 
but probably will not be writing very much.
