[OSList] Are You a frequent Lurker on OSLIST?

[Chris Kloth via OSList]

I am a regular lurker.

For many years I was an active participant. I have been doing OST and  
OST inspired work continuously for about 20 years and used to be an  
OSONOS regular. A few of the active participants will remember me.

Life got very complicated a number of years ago and, while I still do  
the work, I rarely feel comfortable adding my 2 cents. Occasionally  
offer my 2 bits... I guess that's what happens when interest accrues  
on my 2 cents over time.

I lurk to feel some sense of connection to the OST community and to be  
inspired by your work.
