[OSList] Are You a frequent Lurker on OSLIST?

[Eleder_BuM via OSList]

Hi all!

Butterfly! François, I like very much your point on the word. I had no idea
of the original meaning of the word lurker, as I thought it just could mean
mostly "reading and seldom writing person".

Dan, two more ways I relate to the wonderful OSLIST community,...

   - In periods when I enjoy more *oslisting *time, I tend to pick pieces
   that resonate with me on a blog under the "OSLIST" label:
   http://flowandshow.blogspot.com.es/search/label/OSLIST
   - In the same way, I have some times used the #OSLIST label on Twitter
   to pick some short and meaningful phrases, see here:

Great game, play on, play on!
