I engage in the conversation, try-on different responses, sometimes even start composing them, but then hit 'cancel' rather than 'send'. Usually with the feeling that my opinion/view/response/experience is just not worthy of the group. So I lurk. And feel some shame about this. Forgoodnesssakes, I am even a facilitator! Thank you for the prompt/invitation to de-lurk!
