I must admit to being a NavList lurker, reading most messages daily, much like the morning paper. I feel at times as though many of you are old friends. Happy holidays to all . . . Frank J.

They're people who've ended up on a NavList page while searching for something navigational, astronomical, etc. They read one or two or even ten posts, get some benefit, or not, and then they're gone and would probably never come back. There are indeed plenty of true 'lurkers' who follow these discussions regularly but never contribute. At my best guess, there are around 500 NavList lurkers. > > I am posting this "anonymously" as a demonstration (all such posts are reviewed before posting). > > -FER > > ------------------------------------ > [Sent from archive by: anon-AT-anon] > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
