Well, the bold did not show up, where I stated that "my skills are not nearly as
well developed..."


And, one more comment (sorry to reply to my own post--bad form): I follow
SawMill Creek, Woodnet, Wood Central, and Woodtalk online, as well as checking
out this list daily. Every "list" appears much less engaged than in the past few
years. Woodtalk handtools is virtually dead. SMC and WoodCentral have the most
traffic, but it's nowhere near previous years activity. So, I suspect that we're
experiencing what everyone else is, too.

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...
