[OSList] Are You a frequent Lurker on OSLIST?

[Daniel Mezick via OSList]

OK, so it been about 40 hours since the The Lurker Game got started; 
almost 2 days.

Almost 70 replies. Some interesting responses! What is most interesting 
is what and how people are choosing to disclose so much rich data. Like, 
their start with OST, and in what year, what events they have attended, 
etc.

There have even been some disclosures about the "why" behind the pattern 
of reading but not writing to the list.

All in all, an interesting game so far!

Let's keep playing.
