I'm in  a somewhat similar mode as James, adapting a few of his statements (bold
print is mine):
                              I pretty much lurk now because my skills are still
not nearly as well developed as so many of you guys. The majority of the content
now is collector oriented, so I tend to skip those posts (so of course, I never
reply to them). I still scan the list every day looking for the occasional bits
that match my interests, but the vast majority of the traffic I simply glance at
the title, and move on...
